Not a problem, go for it. Not everyone has enough money to eat that way.
I have a cousin who grows 'natural' crops. Big farmer, growing wealthy by selling low yield, low quality, 'natural' foods to foolish people.
In fact, if I were still farming, I like to think I'd be smart enough to do the same.
Can't feed America that way though. Food prices would be astronomical, and food would be in perpetual short supply.
The real bread and butter that feeds America is, and has been, genetically modified crops.

That is a lie from the pit of hell.
You are trying to equate natural cross-polination with destructive gene splicing. Hybrids are not “genetically modified,” they usually revert back to the original on the next generation.
As a Libertarian, I believe people like you should be free to eat unnatural foods grown with chemicals, and people like me should be free not to.
GMOs contaminate the food supply, so people do not get to choose natural foods. GMOs are not the same as hybrids, plant husbandry, fertilizers, plant hormones, etc.
I buy some organic products and part of my concern is soil management. From what I’ve heard, our soils are not replenished due to rotation, and thus we’re overly dependent on oil for fertilizers to keep the soil “healthy”. If it were the UK France, or NZ, I might not have a problem with that. But... since it’s the Middle East, I get overly concerned.
Do you have an opinion on that? It’s hard to find a non-organic farmer that comments on such things.
