Technically, the article is available online - it just costs money
now.
However, the article discussed how organic farming was becoming
more like regular farming in the US: centralized in a few, large
corporate farms. It also discussed how organic farming is not a
revolution, but a market niche appealing to certain financially
upscale consumers who have a particular health orientation.
Here health orientation is seen as a set of consumer attitudes, and not
some set of objective measures (like biomarkers).
Very interesting article - worth looking up if the NY Times is
in your favorite library.
