In reply to the discussion: Chipotle to Stop Serving Genetically Altered Food [View all]TekGryphon
(430 posts)33. Sure, but let's be honest here. Chipotle throws over a daily dosage of sodium into every meal...
.. it's not like they're really interested in a truly healthy and wholesome dining experience. Their wraps are 300 calories a piece and a burrito bowl can easily exceed 1000 calories.
We can't even decide if eggs, bread, dairy, or meat are definitively "safe" or "not safe", so I don't look for definitive decisions.
What I look for is data and consensus, and the consensus on the data is that MOST GMO modifications are benign. A FEW raise concerns, however, and THOSE are the ones Chipotle should be cutting out of their supply chain until the data is more sound.
Instead they threw the baby out of the bath water to satisfy the fringe anti-intellectual movement on the left.
