Thank you so much to everyone who participated in our #GMOchat on Twitter on January 29. You helped make it a success! Especially big thanks go out to our guest experts Michael Belkin of The Refusers and Garden of Life. Thank you so much for sharing your views with us!
As promised, embedded into this post is a transcript of the chat. At the top of the feed, you’ll find the most recent tweets made using the hashtag GMOchat. Please note that though our chat ended, the conversation is still going, and the hashtag is still in use by a number of different Twitter users. This means new tweets not directly connected to our chat will show at the top.
While the majority of users who participated in the chat supported the labeling and/or avoiding of GMO products, our chat did catch the attention of some GMO supporters. It’s a complicated issue and there are many different thoughts, opinions, and studies.
Here are some of the highlights from the chat:
Garden of Life is committed to supporting organic family farms and supporting the #nonGMO movement. #GMOchat
