“GMOs: for or against? Yesterday, Chipotle announced it’s getting rid of all genetically modified ingredients from its food – aka GMOs. Hint: many US crops are genetically modified to resist things like pesticides and plant diseases. The FDA says this is perfectly safe, and lots of people agree. And lots of other people don’t. Chipotle says it would rather remind you the guac is still extra than deal with the ongoing debate, making it the first major US chain to say no to GMOs.”
