At this point, no, I don't think truly organic is possible. They've found traces of pesticides on certified-organic food (it's a much smaller percentage than on conventional produce, but it still exists). I read a study about a year ago...I wish I could remember it now...that said that due to the widespread use of GMOs and how far they can travel, it will be virtually impossible to keep organically-grown produce pure and free of GMOs. I can't remember how many miles they found GMOs could travel, but I do remember that I was shocked by how far it was.

That's not to say that I don't think organic food is worth it (though we can't afford it right now), since there are still lower levels of contaminants in it than conventional produce. But I do think that organic food is becoming less and less pure because of modern mass farming practices. :-(

I agree with Holly, but I still think that its worth buying because of the difference in the *lives* of those farming it....also my concern with gmo's is more the strongarm tactics of the companies making and selling them than my eating a few of them - the more consumer resistance there is to them the more biological diiversity will be protected. i AM concerned about eating them, but more concerned with the destruction of other species and varieties kwim?
