   Terrible reporting!!!!!! I can't believe CNN doesn't know what GMO are, so disappointing. What about mentioning the amount of GMO's in our environment? How about mentioning that GMO's are approved by USDA? Instead, Chipotle's decisions to be transparent with the consumer was turned against them, they should have been commended. I believe the public owes it to themselves to become educated on what GMO's truly are, "altered and unnatural" don't suffice. CNN should feel socially responsible for perpetuating the ignorance. And for those individuals interviewed in the video, check your pantry, fridge, and the restaurants you frequent before assuming that Chipotle is the only place introducing GMO products into your diet. Check the facts, GMO's are not required to be labeled in the United States, so most places and products won't tell you. Cudos Chipotle!

   It is really disappointing when a reputed channel like CNN starts reporting news without any evidence. I absolutely agree soybean oil is GMO but why is it bad for you? What is wrong with GMO foods? Could you please share scientific studies showing that GMO foods are bad? The comment the spokesperson made about "tortilla chips fried in oil other than soybean oil is good for you", makes me doubt credentials of this person. Since when fried food became good for you. I will give her benefit of the doubt and ask why they are good for you? Based on common sense they will have similar caloric content and they will not have any phytosterols left because of high heat of frying.
   looking forward to a scientific explanation for these comments. not from doctor a real scientist.
