The amount of marketing designed to just confuse people about what's good for them. Organic, non-gmo, gluten-free, all natural, it's like a temple for upper middle class white people to reject 50 years of food science.

I wonder what you mean by that...

Those designations (organic, non-gmo, gluten-free, natural) have their place. The practice of it is where consumers get cheated.
