Good summary about organics. My main point here at this board is it is stated that GMO acreage has no changed in the past 3 years, thus if one expects yields going up because of increased usage, it is not happening, if the article is correct. I will admit Mercola is a bit biased against GMO's, but so am I, lol.

Story at-a-glance
At present, there are 457 million acres of GMO crops growing around the world. The good news is this GMO acreage has remained largely unchanged for the last three years
This lack of growth is undoubtedly a reflection of growing consumer awareness about GMOs and the toxic chemicals that accompany them
In the U.S., the organic food and products sector has grown to $50 billion a year and the certified non-GMO sector is now at $30 billion annually
We now face a new generation of GMOs, which are likely even more dangerous than the first generation of glyphosate-resistant and Bt-producing crops released in 1996
The organic industry is also slowly introducing the next-gen in organics — regenerative organics, also known as biodynamic farming, which has far stricter rules than USDA organics. New grass fed certification rules are also being implemented
Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away--Wows happen!!!
