This is bad science (my emphasis):

As more and more chemicals make it into the food we consume, it is necessary to keep in mind that something could be pure yet unlawful to consume because it has been proven to be harmful. While it may be difficult to find food products that are both pure and wholesome, much of the food we eat ends up being non-essential (like meat). Perhaps the existence of organic Kosher alternatives at the supermarket will prompt our brothers and sisters to address this community-wide need.

All food, organic or not, is made up of chemicals.
