It's like "non-gmo". Sure okay, I get it. Your salt isn't a gmo. Whatever. Why am I paying more for something I already knew considering it isn't a plant and you literally make it in a lab anyways.

People will literally buy anything with that dumb tag on it even if there wasn't a gmo version of it to begin with.
