Perhaps, but it's more than just political. I keep thinking of Kraft and the other companies that make boxed foods (mac & cheese in a box, cold cereal, cakes, cookies, chips, crackers, hamburger helper) and think that if the world went 100% organic they wouldn't have the grain needed to make their products -- which would put lots of people out of work. Not just the people who manufacture it, but also those who work in food warehouses and make deliveries to the stores that sell it. It's the same thing with Coke & Pepsi -- an enormous number of people work in its production and distribution and there'd be no market for the product if everyone really did eat clean.
None of this, btw, is meant to imply I eat cleanly or that I won't drink soft drinks. I'm more aware of what eating cleanly is than I was, say, a year ago. But I still drink the occasional can of soda and peanut butter-filled pretzels and cold cereal are a huge part of my diet.
