Yes...and no. It's all about the money, but the twist is that it is what the public is asking for. The public wants convenient, inexpensive food. The corporations and mega-farms have gotten creative in how to supply this for the public. All the modifications, pesticides, etc. have been aimed at producing food on a monumental scale at lowest cost.

So, for the majority of us who can't raise our own animals and produce it will really come down to $$$ out of our pocket. If it's important to avoid the mass-produced stuff, then it will cost you more.
