You kind of seem to contradict yourself..
On the one hand you say that you don't mind paying more for healthier food and meat, but yet you say that you don't really mind about that when you have to make economical decisions.
Okay, you say you are 'generally happy' with the quality of industry meat, but then again you say that those antibiotics worry you (and they should
)
Organic meat is better for the environment for a fact. You're right it takes up more space (and yes, space is a big issue in our land), but the pollution the meat industry produces is very vast.
You're forgetting that, besides space, the meat industry requires loads of food for those animals, which are mainly produced on highly polluting soy bean farms, usually in third worlds countries who fell loads of trees and habitat of endangered species to make room.
Soy bean production is very polluting (in large numbers, in which they are now), and right now about 80% of the soy production goes to animal fodder. Since organic meat requires organic fodder with much variety, this problem will definitely decrease if we'd all switch to organic meat.
Also, because so many animals are packed together on meat industry farms, they produce a lot of manure in high density, polluting the surrounding environment.
