Do you have something against people making an informed decision about their food choices?

I really don’t care what you choose to eat, but I do have a problem if it affects my ability to feed my family what I feel is best for their health.

I don't get it, WHO is stopping you from buying whatever type food you want, organic, or inorganic?

I have a lot of friends and relatives still in the farming business. Some specialize in organic, and if you have a big pocketbook, you can buy from them.

If you are just an ordinary joe smoe with an average income you're limited to how organic you can buy, but that's not someone else’s fault.

The advent of GM crops helped continue the downward slide of grocery prices. GN also paved the way for the expansion of organic crops, as the economic pressure to use every acre just to feed everyone suddenly was reduced, and farmers could begin to specialize in niche crops.

People who want to only eat organic often don’t how dependant they are on GM crops for their organic foods.
