Thank you Honey Maid - Doing GOOD with bad comments

52. Wonderful advertisement, the ingredients are not. NO PASS on the Mondelez/Nabiso/Kraft GMOs, plus.

I just learned this (acrylamide issue) myself, while trying to find an ingredients list for the EU version of the product (guaranteed to be GMO-FREE), but no luck.

Health Canada's Revised Exposure Assessment of Acrylamide in Food
August 2012

Appendix 1 - Concentrations of acrylamide in food products, on an as-consumed basis, available in Canada (µg/kg of food or parts per billion (ppb)).

This table is considered a snapshot of a small proportion of the products that are available on the Canadian market and do not represent all brands and product types. No particular inference should be drawn from the presence or absence of any brand from this survey. The absence of a particular brand simply means that it was not sampled and does not mean that it would have either similar or dissimilar levels of acrylamide as those in brands of the same food listed below. Differences in acrylamide levels between foods and brands do not necessarily reflect differences in exposure or potential risk that would be faced by consumers, and should not be used as indices of healthy product choices.

- Honey Maid is STILL made by Nabisco, Nabisco is STILL active in the Grocery Management Association, and neither wants Americans to know whether or not there are GMOs in their food. Nabisco is NOT on the side of the people, they are of and for the Corporatocracy! So, let's not be fooled by some slick, Hallmark-inspired you-tube video!

- No matter how "feel good" this is it still doesn't change the fact that all Nabisco products contain GMOs.

- Really!? No matter how touchy feely that video is it doesn't take away the fact that all Nabisco products are full of GMOs.
