we may end up like the places where 40% of their income goes to food, instead of 4% that we currently enjoy in the US

Given the level of diet-related illness in the US, much of it a result of ultra cheap (through subsidies) sugars and grains, I can't help but wonder, "if people were paying 25% of their paychecks for food, would they make better choices?"

Of course, the issue there has nothing to do with organics and everything to do with subsidies.

No. They will still choose the cheapest/most-convenient.
