umm well as for organic plants. I dont really see a difference, its all grown from the ground

Too much money. Organic is just another label they put on food to make people buy it and think they are eating a fresher alternative.

You can eat what you want so long I don’t have to subsidize it through taxes.

I feel that it is for gullible liberals who think it’s healthier, when it really has no nutritional advantage. It just costs more. Plus organic food is usually smaller because they don’t use good fertilizer.

It also takes up space that could be used for large yield GE crops. If we grew only organic crops on all the farmland we have now, we could only feed 2/3 of the world. In other words, it cannot sustain a growing population. GE crops can, they are always increasing in yield and resistance to things like pests and drought.

So yeah if you don’t think about it then organic is fine, but if you stop and think about it, you’ll see how dumb it is. If you can afford it then you won’t really care, it’s just another extravagant wasteful thing that liberals love. Like wearing a hemp tuxedo.

I love it. But do you feel ashamed about spending more for organic, when your neighbor can’t afford organic?

It is proven that its has no more nutritional value than nonorgainc food. It just cost more. We are living much longer now, so insecticides are not killing anybody.

My parents are republican and run an organic farm. They sell food that has the same or worse nutritional value at a higher price to suckers.

I don’t think there is a party line for food choices.

Probably the same as the average Democrats opinion. Since when does one’s political stance have anything to do with organic food? You must be an angry liberal trying for a dig and failing miserably.
Organic food tastes ok but doesn’t last more than 1 day so eat fast.

Sh!t is natural, but I don’t make a habit of consuming it.

To me it isn’t worth the extra money, and in fact studies have shown it may be more dangerous than “standard” food, the production of which is better regulated.
