Are you sure that's what you want? 25 years ago we raised 7 billions bushels of corn annually. That's to changes in practices, and especially to GM corn seed, (think Monsanto) today we raise 14 billion bushels.
What do you think would happen if we eliminated GM seed, and were suddenly short 30% or 40% on some of our main crops?
Instead of 39 cents or 59 cents, think more like $3.90 or $5.90 a pound for those potatoes. Get to the store early, 'cuz they'll all be gone before noon.
Enjoy your 'organic' foods, they are a luxury that America can afford only because most people eat food produced by GM plants.
