...unless they're grown with non-organic nutrients and such.
I guess they can be organic.
But lots of things can be organic, like: oleander (leaves and branches extremely poisonous), nightshade (datura, belladonna, etc, tropane poisoning), rhubarb (stems are tasty, but the leaf blades can cause convulsions, coma and death), cherry (twigs and leaves are fatal, they contain a compound that releases cyanide when eaten, gasping, excitement and prostration are common symptoms), mistletoe (the berries have killed), hemlock (another fatal one) and MANY OTHER NATURAL ORGANIC THINGS CAN KILL YOU.
Unless you could genetically modify all the poisonous things to not be poisonous, then Monsanto could be even way more super extra rich!

Umm actually, anything with a carbon atom is organic. So yeah, that's why I think this whole "organic" debate is fucking retarded.
Ya know what else is "organic"? Propane. People are so stupid when it comes to what goes in their body. The label "organic" or "GMO free" has abso-fucking-lutely nothing to do with the nutrition content for that food.

Umm, the organic debate doesn't really have much to do with the GMO debate...
It's also not about the nutrition, but the side effects of consuming GM foods. Akin to many dangerous pharmaceuticals, GMOs haven't been adequately tested and shown to be safe for human consumption.

Monsanto is an arm of the NWO. Their goal (and they're close to obtaining it) is to control all of the world's food supply via controlling the seed. Their bought-and-paid-for Judges (former and post Monsanto employees) have legislated from the bench that Monsanto can patent (own) genetics (life). He who controls the food is above all the supreme power. No army can survive without food, no populace can sustain without food.
Most likely
The Elite have their crops grown in organic green houses. Watered with distilled water and filtered air. Foods not available to the public.

I was under the impression that GM crops ruin the soil as well making it very
hard to grow crops the natural way...

That question has been answered many times in the articles and documentaries already posted in this thread.

If you had the time to write that out you clearly had the time to answer the question.

b/c it's a long complex answer... It's not always a direct cause and effect w/ GM crops and soil...
Basic example... corn normally releases hormones in the soil to attract nematodes (which attack the parasites) when their roots are being attacked by parasites that bore into the roots, lay larvae that eat them and kill the plant. Studies show that the GM corn has lost that ability leading to more use of pesticides/herbicides to be used which in turn ruins the soil b/c of the chemicals involved.
IIRC they go over this here... http://www.growery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/589620#589620
Not to mention what monocultures, which is what these GM crops are, in general do to soil. http://www.helium.com/items/1851230-the-effects-of-corn-monocultures-on-the-soil

Right on man. Its just a pet peeve of mine I guess. But yes the harm vastly
outweighs the good with this bullshit. Funny how some say "oh it helps 3rd
world countries" 
What else should one consider in that respect as far as why they are there
in the first place?
