“I want it to be grown in soil that has been tested and chemically fertilized for the crop being grown and kept bug free with pesticides!!! “
EXACTLY!!!! Just the way God intended!!!
all organic is non GMO so buy it..................
Lol, this subject really eats at you. As much as it seems to bother you, some, and actually most, non-GMO is non-organic. Very few fruits and vegetables are GMO now, and only a small portion of those are organic. No GMO wheat being used yet, or very little. And very little wheat is organic.
True of most plants used as food.
Eight crops – corn, soybeans, cotton, canola, alfalfa, sugar beets, papaya and squash – are available from GM seeds for commercial use in the U.S.

Of course, GMOs fed to animals and used in processed food are the biggest sources in the current food supply.
Yes and the best part is you can just save some seeds from your crop for the next year. I grew some awesome huge tomatoes in containers last summer. Can’t wait til it warms up to get going again.
Just remember to save seeds from only known heirloom. Others can produce some funky stuff. Believe me, I tried. :-)
Yes the hybrid stuff does not re-propagate very well.
So what is your problem? You are intelligent and know what is GMO and what is not and can buy what you want. Are you just complaining with your mouth full?
I laugh at the labels on rice. Big letters, NON GMO RICE. There is no GMO rice.
These are marketing ploys to manipulate.
You may not like GMO but I will tell you that without it we would be in a world of hurt.
It may not be a perfect food production system but it is the BEST in the WORLD and in HISTORY.
Stop complaining and implement your choices. You don’t like GMO, then buy organic. All organics is (suppose) to be non GMO.
