Farmers get paid next to nothing and giant farms use all sorts of GMO's and pesticides because we demand cheap food. What we are left with is corn syrup everything, which leads to diabetes, obesity and heart problems. It's a very bad situation to be in, all in the name of cheap food. And that's why it is worth it to me to pay more for healthy, organic, "fair trade" food that treats farmers, the earth, and myself better. It is cheap, considering how much work goes into growing it.
