A great example of moving the goal post.

Go down the list, as each on is stricken off the supporters will say "it was never about X, it was always about Y".

I'm constantly hearing about how organic food is: Healthier, tastier, or better for the environment. The scientific literature just doesn't hold up with any of those claims. [1]

On top of that, if there was some aspect of organic food that actually did make it better for the environment, then let's just use that with normal farming. Why create an arbitrary new category of food based on a fallacy? [2]
