I'm not sure the hyperbole is helping the debate. Chipotle using non-GMO foods probably isn't causing anyone to go blind, right?

- Vendan 12y agoAnother company folding to bad science isn't helping people either...
- eli 12y ago"Folding"? It's what customers want. According to the article, the CEO of Chipotle believes GMO ingredients are fine. But I don't think it's the duty of a fast food restaurant to tell the public that they are wrong for wanting one ingredient over another.
- shillster 12y agoIts called voting with your dollars.
- Vendan 12y agoJust cause something is popular doesn't make it good science. The fact that people vote against GMO's in this way is, if anything, depressing.
- eloisius 12y agoIt at least lends credibility to anti-GMO activism.
- eli 12y agoIf you were hoping to make the case for evidence-based nutrition and nutritional science on the backs of the America's fast food restaurants, I think you are in for a lot of disappointment.
- baldfat 12y agoIt feeds the conspiracy.
- toxican 12y agoObviously not. The problem is that when a big, well-known company takes an anti-science stance like this, it persuades ignorant people.
- undersuit 12y agoAnd the majority of GMO crops being grown: Canola, Maize, Soybean, and Cotton aren't stopping these children from going blind either. The cotton might be making clothing cheaper, but the rest are processed into oils or HFCS or animal feed at a far higher rate than they are consumed in an unprocessed form.
