The organic/non genetically modified food movement has been quickly gaining steam as of late. Agriculture currently is not fullfilling the world wide demand causing widespread starvation (just ask Sally Struthers...). Considering that yields are significantly lower (and more expensive) with organic farming than mainstream farming methods I ask the following two questions. What percentage of world food demands are being met now, and what percentage would be met if all farming became organic/non-GM?

What does organic food contain? and what does non-organic foods don't contain from organic food and contain what organic food don't contain? Please explain this to me because my parents by organic-everything even organic sugar? I never asked them why they just say it's good I'm like ok...

I know it's expensive because I've seen it and well I just want to know why?

organic food is more toxic than it's non-organic counterpart because it has naturally occurring toxins in it. insects avoid eating organic food because of this, and hence pesticides are not needed. future generations stem from the seeds of the plants which insects will not touch, and so organic food becomes more and more toxic with each generation.

Recently, I saw a movie documenting the food industry, both where our meat comes from, how animals and workers or treated and so on. Basically, it lifted the veil on all the "bad" in the industry. Instead, the movie encouraged the viewer towards more organic products.

Now, I am a full supporter of organic products. However, like the veil that covers the business of "processed unnatural foods," is there a veil that covers the organic food industry?

...homes and neighborhoods--yet they can't find Bin Laden and the terrorists that they should be focusing on? Why does our government waste millions in tax dollars to harass Americans who dare to exercise their freedom be self-sufficient and seek healthy food instead of mass produced poisonous foods?

These are at least thousands of raids on private homes--for the "crime" of making and possessing healthy and affordable organic food and sharing their food with neighbors in co-ops:
