True, kids are out in the real world eating non-organic food, but by
that argument I should buy them cigarettes because they may already
breath second hand smoke... It's not practical to do everything organic,
but I believe numerous good choices make for healthier living.

If you try establishing your new organic lawn from seed, using no
herbicides, I think you'll see how difficult and expensive it would be
to commercially grow turf that way. If you compare that totally
organic approach to just using herbicides to the point that it's
established, thick and healthy and then going organic, the latter
approach seems a very reasonable compromise to me.
