So yeah non organic, genetically modified food should be more expensive. That way the 1% can eat all the crap they want and die early, no problem there. Win/Win as far as I'm concerned...
I believe there are more than 2 ways to farm.
Organic
Non GMO grown with pesticides/fertilizers
GMO grown with pesticides/fertilizers
GMO seeds grown with organic methods
Then there is the fifth version; labeled organic but really grown with pesticides/fertilizers. (No one will know, but we get to charge more for it.)
Now how do you differentiate the resulting products?
