Why do you have to pay extra and go through silly hoops to grow organic, while GMO farms get free money in the form of subsidies?
You don't numb nuts. You're paying more for 'organic' because the guy who grew it lost half his 1 acre plot to an easily prevented parasite, on top of his total yield already being lower because his 'heirloom' seed had actually adapted to the area it was produced and sucks in his zone.

Actually you do.
You have to pay and go through hoops to get certified as organic while a big portion of GMO farming receives subsidies from the government.
