There will always be those on top that abuse thier abilities, and those who have nothing to abuse even if they wanted.
I think using organic anything is a great way to make use of the excess supply of whatever organic item it may be.
Keep the economy flowing no matterwhat.

Thing is, it's artificial. The U.S. gov. spends $18-20 bill a year in subsidies that make corn that cheap. Used to be that, in order to regulate food supplies and farm prices (not too high, not too low), the feds would subsidize corn crops and other crops -- but only for a set number of acres. You could grow more, but you were on your own. Now the feds kick over a little for every bushel you grow, no matter how many. That brings the price down, so people grow even _more_ corn to make a profit by volume. If we went back to the old system, prices would still be low enough and we wouldn't be overproducing.
So yeah, those on top abuse -- but not because they've got great abilities, but because they've bought, and are continuing to buy, the right congressmen.
