Generically modified (GM) foods produced through biotechnology methods are considered unsafe by some in the scientific community and only organically grown foods should be consumed. Many foods are labeled non-GMO today and subject consumers to higher prices to purchase these products that claim to be organically grown and are free of any bioengineering. Other agricultural scientists claim even organic foods may have been created through farming practices such as hybridization or cross breeding and are not harmful. Some believe the term "Frankenfoods" has created widespread distrust and is used as a scare tactic to cause consumers to turn to other food choices often at a higher cost.  

Author credentials (History PhD are doctors but not an authentic source for biological issues. Just like you should not take my word on the musical analysis of Mozart!)

Answer #1

2. Information summarized is conflict for the organization in the way that the organic farming practice uses the distrust for "Frankenfoods" as a tactic to make profit for other food options especially the organic foods.  

3. The contradictary information is that there might be employment of ybridization or cross breeding for producing organic foods and are not harmful. But the thing is , hybrids and cross-breeding are also a kind of genetic manipulations, similar to GMOs but they're done in the laboratory rather in the field or by nature. If hybridization are not harmful, then GMO also!
