Did you mean to say "many foods" instead of "all"?
I was using hyperbole.
I wanted to make the point that people often focus so much on organic or GMO that they don't notice what else is in their food.
But I will change my OP to "some."
Years ago, I knew a young couple who started an organic grain business. They expanded into chips, and other snack items over the objections of the husband, who wanted to sell real food without ingredients or additives. But the wife realized they made almost all of their money from the organic snacks. They divorced, she took the snack side of the business (produced in a mega-corp factory that shut down just long enough to switch from their mega-corp chip brand production to the organic chip ingredient batch) and he kept the 50# bag of organic grain part. It's one of the largest organic brands on the shelves now, probably bought out by the mega-corp that made the chips in the first place. GMO corn, or non-GMO corn was the least unhealthy aspect of the product.
