Both are bad. Obviously the kids are a bigger issue nationally, but corporate farming/genetic engineering of crops and livestock is a huge, huge problem. The farmers got sold a pile of shit with this stuff, and most of the rural states have been hollowed out as a result.
Genetically modified farming is pure globalism. It's not good for farmers, and it's not good for America.
Costs can be very deceptive in food. Carbs are cheap. Diabetes is expensive.
It's bigger than just organic, which is little more than a label used to separate shoppers based upon socio-economic status. Take a can of high quality tuna, vs. saver brand stuff. Yes, the high quality stuff costs a lot more, sometimes more than 2x as much. But when you open both cans, the difference is obvious. One is full of big chunks of meat, the other mostly water with some meatish paste thrown in. It's less expensive, but the value argument is complex.
What's not complex at all, is what highly automated, commodity farming has done to rural communities all over this country. It has destroyed them.

How can Americans than access organic foods easier? I buy organic foods and it is more expensive
