The anti-genetically modified food movement is now looking to scare the public from eating candy. The group GMO Inside launched a campaign against Hersey and Mars to force them to label GM products or eliminate them. Hershey and Mars comprise approximately 70 percent of the U.S. chocolate market. Although chocolate is not genetically modified, many of the ingredients used such as the sugar is made from GM sugar beets or corn syrup, according to John Roulac, co-chairman, GMO Inside. The campaign is calling for the public to use social media, e-mails and phone calls to pressure these companies into eliminating or labeling GM ingredients.
I recently posted an article on this on the AgProfessional website and the story received quite a few comments.
What are your thoughts on this issue? How should the ag industry respond? Please reply to this discussion. ------------------------------------------- Colleen Scherer Managing Editor Vance Publishing Lenexa KS -------------------------------------------
