General Mills insists its decision to remove genetically modified organisms from its flagship Cheerios breakfast cereal has nothing to do with public pressure. But of course it does. And while we understand the move, it’s a sad testimony to the growing strength of a movement that is indifferent to scientific consensus.
That consensus is clear and it is supported by hundreds of studies. Indeed, concluded that “the scientific research conducted so far has not detected any significant hazards directly connected with the use of [genetically engineered] crops.”
But the anti-GMO movement, riding a variety of motives and fears, proves again that some people will believe what they want to believe, and never mind where the bulk of evidence stands.
