There's a degree of that. But if I may go against the spirit of this thread and push back a little, the main thing I look for is local, which often means organic by happenstance. I think it's dangerous for all our food to come from one place (such as California).
For the same reasons, local food can be just as bad, if not worse than organic food. It takes far more energy to grow citrus fruit in New York City than it does in Chicago. It would be terrible for the environment to insist that all the citrus fruit consumed in northern cities be grown there, instead of warmer climates.

Maybe, but I'm not exactly seeing a big push for this. I mean, the farm share we buy from doesn't sell anything that won't grow in our area.
