Everyone eating organically would result in mass starvation and there's the cost involved.  Tell a single parent to triple their food bill without getting any more food for their family.  It's just not practical.

I consider nutrition while tripping to be very important.  More important than any other time.  I'm working harder (a lot harder) than I normally do.  I'm without easy access to help.  It just makes sense to eat well & get quality calories & nutrition.  Once I forgot to pack protein.  By day 3 I had an all-day headache.  Someone caught a fish and the headache went away shortly after eating.  Fortunately we caught lots of fish that year.  Ever since then I've been aware of the food I pack, making sure that each day has proper meals.
