I just find it interesting that monetarists are essentially arguing the same thing.  They know that fiscal spending is what's needed to improve the economy, but they cannot advocate for that because government spending of any kind is worse than keeping high unemployment.

However, there really isn't a compelling body of scientific evidence making an argument for significantly improved health outcomes from eating organic food.  I like it because it seems like it must be cleaner and more wholesome, but there really isn't much evidence for that. The main health beneficiaries are probably the farmers, not the consumers.  Organic sometimes seems to taste better, but often it's because of some other factor that has nothing to do with organic.  For example, an heirloom tomato tastes better regardless of how its grown, but it just so happens that many of them are grown organically anyway, so organic gets the credit for it, not the genes.  

The classic taste test for outing morally informed food tastes versus objectively informed tastes is to compare grass-fed versus corn-fed beef in blind taste tests, organic or not.  The vast majority of blind taste tested consumers tend to choose corn-fed beef because the additional fat content in corn-fed beef strongly stimulates pleasure senses on the human tongue and brain in a way that the more lean grass-fed beef simply cannot, unless it's a really expensive cut that has been fed with dozens of different clovers or whatever.  However, if you ask those same consumers, myself included, which they'd prefer, many more of them still prefer grass-fed because it sounds more organic or ecological or wholesome or something.  It's a moral preference, not an objective taste choice.  

And, to bring birth control moral preferences back into it, I am always amused by hard core foodies who are incensed about the amount of hormones used in dairy production and found in all sorts of places in the environment, causing health issues. It turns out that a large number of the folks who so hate hormone treatment in cattle use it even more intensively in their own bodies or encourage its use by their friends and family members in the form of artificial birth control, which finds its way into water and other things that people consume when it gets tossed in the garbage or expelled in human waste, just like dairy hormone treatments do on a smaller scale.

Nevertheless, it's never a winning argument to bring up because moral preferences are still valid even when they contradict a person's own factual preferences.
