Absolutely we need to label GMOs. And I agree, "organic" really means "just about the best we can do with the planet we have."
Actually "organic" mean 95% of the best we can do, you're on your own for the other 5%.

Haha. The OP's avatar makes it difficult for me to take anything he types seriously. The last thing I want to see in the morning when I visit ECF is his pubes, or lack thereof.
There isnt a drop of soil in the usa that hasnt been contaminated by man made byproducts, pesticides, poisons, neuclear waste... you name it. Every so called organic product isnt organic anymore. You can even find pesticide traces, and radiation from fukoshima and chernobyl in the Alleghany Mountains here in NY.
The only thing "organic" means is limiting your exposure "somehow". Dont fool yourself into believing for a second the soil its grown in hasnt been tainted.
A little rain water will ruin that idea right quick.
To me "organic" means using manure from animals/humans without any processing which equals ecoli. Having to own a cow of my own because the only safe sterile raw milk is when it comes out of the udder into your mouth, that is if you keep the udder as clean as you can humanly can. To bring home tomatoes and vegetables with extra protein from worms and pests and have to soak it in some kind of soapy solution to make sure none of the manure from animals/humans escapes the washing. These are only a few...
I respect anyone's decision to go "organic" but as far as I'm concerned, I will always take advantage of the latest agricultural science and especially pasteurization. All you have to do is look at the reasons why these processes were invented in the first place. I'm not going backwards.
I think the GMO regulations need to be a case by case basis. Things like spinach, avocado, most American chicken,etc... I want them modified, and in many cases would be truly scared to eat them completely natural/organic.
ermmm hydroponics (water can be made very pure) nutrients provided can be pure.
on a side note, aeroponics.
most of which are indoor. just my two diddly's

Uh huh, and the soil you put it in is tained by default. And the air around it is impure. Go do more homework.
And organic meats are not grown using manure.

There is no soil in hydroponics
People who are against most GMO products make about as much sense as those against using evolution as a scientific base.
Speechless.
