Does the airfreighting of organic food go against it's principles?

There is a huge debate on whether the increasing use of air freighting organic foods goes against the principles behind such products. At this point there is a proposed prohibition being talked about for all airefreighted organic food. Are we putting our principle before practicality? Is there a danger that by removing the certification from suppliers that continue to air freight and thus restricting the supply, the whole organic market could fall to a point below its critical mass? If this ban goes into place there will be a huge void and will restirct the amount and kind of products available to us.

I believe we should save our fossil fuels by staying closer to home. If we did that, opening ma and pa fruit and vegeie stands would help out alot, there by saving dollars for other things more important.
