My views:
Organic - Important for fresh produce like berries, apples, anything with a porous skin that you aren't going to remove. I have been doing a lot more gardening the last few years to have some peace of mind over the source of my families food.
GMO - I don't really care that it is genetically modified, but I do care that it wasn't hosed down with glyphosate. Here in Iowa we have the highest cancer rate in the country and I think glyphosate is a major factor.
Grass-Fed - Beef, lamb - I get a 1/2 beef every year that is certified organic and grass-fed. It is about the same cost as non-grass fed. I don't know if I would spend the extra money or not if I didn't have this access.
Pasture-Raised Eggs - I am an egg snob, I grew up raising chickens and it is about taste. I only buy local eggs or Vital Farms, Pete & Gerry's basically whatever are the most expensive eggs is what I buy.
