Cargill's GMO hypocrisy

Baking GMO free cake and eating it too!

[link:http://jimhightower.com/node/8418#.VAGwOktOZ60|

"But – whoa, what's this? It's a press release from Fortress Cargill, proclaiming that the diehard giant is now marketing a non-GMO soybean oil that – voila! – announces on its label that the product is GMO-free. Has the diehard had a change of heart?

Excuse me, but corporations don't have hearts. They have bottom lines, period. And the bottom line is that Cargill's terminally-hypocritical honchos see dollars laying on the ground that they're not getting. So, weasels a company man with the cumbersome title of Food Ingredients Commercial Manager, "Despite the many merits of biotechnology, consumer interest in… non-GMO ingredients is growing, creating opportunities… for food manufacturers."

That is the clearest expression you'll ever get of corporate integrity."

not Carville. Obvious thread killing distraction attempt.

Of course these monolithic companies want to have it both ways re GMOs...that's what they do.

I've deleted.

I have zero desire to kill an anti-GMO thread. To the contrary...

And I did not even pick up when another poster laughed at me.

Sometimes, I have too many screens open too.

You were right to question.
