Doesn't (b) imply that grocery stores can't keep organic food on the shelf as long as conventional produce?

I don't think that applies to all products-- if the food doesn't contain oil or has been packaged in a way which prevents exposure to air, how can it go rancid? This is mere theory, however. Anyone have actual information?
