Am I paying more for pesticide free food?
No! You are paying fair market value..
Conventionally grown foods are sold at a discount. They contain traces of harmful chemicals and for that reason they are sold cheaper in the market place..
If everyone went pesticide free would there be enough food in the world??
There is enough food grown in North America to feed the whole world..
In fact in 2002 Canada suffered it worst drought in decades. And even with the record low harvest , Canada was unable to completely sell off it`s 2002 cereal crop.
So much for the argument for genetically modified foods.. There is no need for North American farmers to grow bigger and more foods..
The cost of food will not drop..
But the profits for the chemical companies would improve..
The only ones that will profit from that is the multi national Corporations.
