>So while there may be health benefits for organic lettuce, for example, there’s higher risk of food borne illness

It's a classic problem. At scale, industrial farming and everything that goes with it is net positive to society. It produces the best nutrition, on average. But on any individual level (be that geographic location, or you, the person), organic farming can have more nutritional benefits.

It's the same as the COVID vaccine. For society as a whole, it's beneficial if everyone gets the vaccine. It produces better health outcomes, on average. But at the individual level, it might be better if you don't get the vaccine.

Unfortunately, organic farming at scale has issues, and avoiding the vaccine at scale also has issues.
