Because misinformation IN THIS DAY AND AGE can destroy people's livelihoods.
Oh for God's sake, really?
#1. People can choose to buy whatever food, for whatever reason they want. The fact is, the organic segment is growing. You, nor anybody else, is going to change that. The younger generation driving this, will be suspicious of any scientific evidence presented to them. If it ever changes, it will be driven by what an even younger generation places importance on.
#2. History is littered with things (usually scientific changes) that have destroyed people's livelihoods.
A small list off the top of my head: gas works (natural gas), typewriters (computers), albums/CD's (digital), horse buggies (cars), many assembly line jobs (robotics), film and film cameras (digital), the point and shoot camera market (cell phones), etc. In the grand scheme of things "organic farming" is hardly earth shattering.
Did you know only 15% the original fortune 500 companies in 1955 are still in existence? Everything changes. Industries will disappear. Jobs will be lost. Livelihoods ruined. But you know what, through all of this, more jobs will always be created by technology than jobs lost. That's a fact.
