For example, chicken is much better just about any country than the US. I've had chicken in Europe and in Asia. The flavor is much more potent than chicken here organic or not doesn't matter.
Beef is another thing, even a good ribeye. US beef just doesn't match up with even Australian beef in flavor.
Organic or not doesn't make that huge a difference compared to certain regional produced foods.
Organic Fuji Apple produced here will never be better than Fuji Apple grown in Japan.

The organic label is not just about feed. The soil must meet certain regulations to be certified USDA organic. This is one reason organic is more expensive--farmers who want to switch over find that it takes several years to replenish the soil's nutrients.
