    I think you have it backwards…

    “Organic” foods have to use older, less safe, more harmful, sometimes longer lasting & more bioavailable “organic” pesticides and herbicides. They just have worse risk profiles overall vs their synthetic counterparts.

    While GMOs often are able to utilize newer synthetic “safer” pesticides and herbicides that they have been genetically modified to survive. (They all still suck for you and I to be fair, some less than others)
