Chipotle's "No more GMO food" announcement was the worst "great news" I'd heard in a long time. It was clearly just for PR and nothing else. It's good to see some sanity--this obsession with "clean/pristine nature" which has no rational basis has to stop.

It has a very rational basis - the 'clean nature' fad is a reaction to various food manufacturers deliberately producing cheap but bad food, for a long time.

Now, that doesn't mean it's always the correct reaction. But it's a simpler proposition than 'you must thoughorly research each individual ingredient in everything you eat'.
