I tend to agree, I try to buy local stuff produced on farms that minimize chemicals and would garden again if I had the time to put into it. I have the land and we have a decent growing season here and we are scoured by fresh Pacific ocean air frequently enough to not worry about pollution too...

Genetic mutations or sports are not hybrids. Natural or artificial GMO are the same whether done in a lab in weeks or done naturally over many years. I am not a geneticist but from what I have read there is no scientific difference.http://academic.kellogg.edu/herbrandsonc/bio111/propagation.htm
