2. It's just semantics

Just as 'plasma' means something different to a physicist and a biologist.

'Organic' means something different to a chemist than a consumer. 'Natural', in the context of foodstuffs, actually has no legal definition, and should be completely ignored as it is often used merely as a marketing device.

That being said, I think that genetic modification of food (hybridized or DNA modification) will eventually be a science that ends hunger and possibly solves myriad other problems. But we have to get beyond corporate greed first.
