Organic Food Prices are High - Myth or not?

Okay, there is plenty of debate out there as to whether or not organic food prices are high. Personally I believe it is not based on the following reasoning

As a consumer, we of course compare the sticker price of a conventional tomato to an organic tomato and find that the price is high. However, we do not analyze deeper as to why the price is higher. We accept the fact that a Lexus is more expensive than a Toyota because it is a better built car, but the same goes for the tomato. The organic tomato is better than the conventional tomato because it has been grown under better conditions.

Anyone want to challenge me on that?
