Expensive Organic?

Excerpt from "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan

I asked Joel how he answers the charge that because food like his (organic) is more expensive it is inherently elitist.

"...whenever I hear people say clean food is expensive, I tell them it's actually the cheapest food you can buy."

"Society is not bearing the cost of water pollution, of antibiotic resistance, of food-borne illnesses, of crop subsidies, of subsidized oil and water - of all the hidden costs to the environment and the taxpayer that make cheap food seem cheap."

"You can buy honestly priced food or you can buy irresponsibly priced food."
