You'd be surprised.
On balance, herbicide-resistant GM crops are less damaging to the environment than conventional crops grown at industrial scale. A study by PG Economics, a consulting firm in Dorchester, UK, found that the introduction of herbicide-tolerant cotton saved 15.5 million kilograms of herbicide between 1996 and 2011, a 6.1% reduction from what would have been used on conventional cotton. And GM crop technology delivered an 8.9% improvement to the environmental impact quotient — a measure that considers factors such as pesticide toxicity to wildlife — says Graham Brookes, co-director of PG Economics and a co-author of the industry-funded study, which many scientists consider to be among the field’s most extensive and authoritative assessments of environmental impacts.

Efficiency my ass.
If we used vertical farming, rather than our outdated methods, we wouldn't need any use of GMOs or pesticides.

Funny, the only inorganic compounds I generally eat are sodium chloride and oxidane. Everything else is organic.
I don't see how people could consider "conventional" food stuff like ferrous oxide or hexahydrate cupric nitrate.

However, conventional is has a long range of meanings to me. One is: There's industrial ranching, where all farm animals are shoved into pens, fattened up with supplements and chemicals, dosed with antibiotics, and slaughtered.

What's really scary is the rise in antibiotic-resistant disease amongst farm animals. If the we eat tons of that meat (I prefer my chicken and steak, but still I don't eat meat often), doesn't that mean we could become antibiotic-resistant as well (as they say, "You are what you eat").

I agree, as I once ate an organic apple and con. apple. The organic apple had a slight petroleum-y taste (as I later read that the apple was from out-of-state). John Cloud had the same issue.

My non organic veggies rot about a week before my organic ones do, no joke. I got apples one time (back during my mid change to organic food) and the conventional apples rotted about three hours after buying, I still have the organic apples.

That's not how anti-biotic-resistance works. The anti-biotics we use generally only harm bacteria & protists. I'm going to assume you mean that our disease-inducing bacteria & protists would become anti-biotic resistant; however, the microbes would be destroyed by the cooking process anyway.
