Organic is a buzz word. It's a marketing gimmick. It's no better or worse than common food products and in some cases environmentally worse because they require more fertilizer and pesticide

Definitely yes-but could I afford it?

Yes. If I could also afford it. Organic food provide more nutrients, and tastes better. We grow some things ourselves and there is a world of difference between a store bought grovery store tomato and one out of the garden.

GMO is a new thing..and no we have not been genetically modifying food for thousands of years..cross breeding is not modifying...gmos are made in a lab and are created by inserting virus..bacteria..or even dna from completely different species inside the host species...of plant or animal...it can't take place in nature at all..it is playing Frankenstein with food and nature...there are thousands of studies from other countries that have deemed gmos dangerous to human health and our environment..that is why over 60 countries ban them from the market...but here in the USA we allow them due to greed and corruption..payoffs and a monopoly on food production..MONSANTO wants to control all the food...

2nd part of the question...Do you know what GMO stands for? And why it is truly devastating to our future and environment?

(Not trying to be mean or controlling to this post). No...Why?. As a human depending on progress. I think we need to explore better ways to cultivate food. Someday we will have learned how not to use pesticides and still grow large quantities of food that will take care of itself untill harvest.

Actually, if it says "organic" or "non-GMO," I WON'T buy it.

What do you mean by "Organic"? It seams to mean something different to everyone.

Yes, I would prefer to grow it myself.

Organic is such a joke that it's not worth it. The only difference between organic and regular food is that organic uses less pesticides. Which means bugs eat half the crop. That is the reason that organic is twice the price of regular food but there is no other significant difference. It's not healthier and it is not better for you in any way shape or form. And this information is coming from people that work at organic valley, which is a major organic food company in Wisconsin.

Define "Organic" - I don't buy the hype.

As a scientist I'm skeptical of the word "organic".

Sure, if it cost the same as the non-organic. Is there non-organic?

No, organic is mostly a marketing gimmick. I saw an ad once for "organic salt." Oy! The so-called organic fertilizers and herbicides and pesticides can be as toxic, or even more so, as the non-organic varieties, sometimes due to the quantity required. If I want to make sure I'm eating as healthily as possible, I'm best off growing my own food and buying locally sourced produce where I can see the agricultural process for myself. But, for the most part, I'm unconcerned with these things. I don't think my health is in serious jeopardy.
