- Organic foods are pesticide free and GMO free.

- I have strong feelings re: this subject and tho I appreciate the information I have not verified any of it. I do notice lots of confusion in the reviews here; the simplest being the different working definitions of the word "organic." ...the most dangerous being the concept that if one genetically engineered product is safe then all such products are safe. Some of the stupidest people sound the smartest.

- Ive got news for you people! If you eat corn of ANY type, YOU ARE NOT EATING A NATURAL PRODUCT! Corn, cattle, bananas, rice, wheat, tomatoes, ad infinitum have been genetically modified by humans since we started farming. Corn is so "UN-natural" that it CAN NOT grow without humans. I want one of you GMO-o-phobes to tell me in CLEAR and SPECIFIC language where the danger in a rice plant that prevents blindness in asia through allowing it to deposit β-carotene in the actual grain instead of the inedible parts of the same organism warrants letting people go blind. GET OVER IT. You are being irrational.

- Great to see this stuff (organic & genetically modified food) debated.

- I'm pretty sure all grown food is organic. Fucken hippies. Don't believe me? Then you're brainwashed. Genetically modified food is also organic, and is just as healthy for you, if not moreso, than the regular shit. You wanna know why they say "Organic" instead of "Grown Without Pesticides" Because the first one is sexier. *Grown Without Pesticides* isn't sexy.

- i'd noticed the 9s and 4s for organics and non-organics, but i didn't realize it was an industry standard thing. hmm.
