If people want the cheaper GMO option they should be allowed, it's supposed to be a free market. But hating on people for preferring organic food is silly, the best of all is people who say there is no difference between organic and non-organic foods.

You can't taste the difference between organic and non organic versions of the same food. If you blind folded yourself and tasted 3 samples you would not be able to pick out the one that is different provided all are the same age. Organic food has the same nutritional value as non organic food.
GMO vs Non GMO I could see there being some difference as it is a slightly different product given it isn't genetically identical though I haven't seen anything studied.
Also I believe organic labeling doesn't necessarily mean gmo free. I will check to confirm though.
Edit; Although organic labeling means no GMO seeds are purchased to be planted on large scale crops you get a significant amount of cross breading between gmo fields and organic fields so there is no real thing as jmo free wheat, canola, barley etch as seeds from each year are kept for the next season.
