Everyone Calls BS on Chipotle's GMO Move
It was a cynical concession to the anti-science movement.
Chipotle made headlines at the beginning of the week for announcing that it would only sell food that is “free of genetically engineered ingredients” moving forward.
The news definitely won attention. Yet the media response has been overwhelmingly negative as nearly every subsequent article paints the move as a pure PR play designed to satiate a confused public.
From The Los Angeles Times:
“Chipotle’s announcement…is rooted either in ignorance or in crass profit-seeking at the expense of science.”
From Bloomberg View:
“Chipotle…has done nothing for the public good, and has only capitulated to anti-GMO fervor.”
