this so toy stance on g.m. i was is that we don't believe there is a scientific consensus that there's a either for human consumption or you know consumption and until we believe such a consensus actually exists in the scientific community we feel it's best not only to disclose that we have some g.m.o. as our menu but to make concern about a concerted effort to remove all of them to the extent possible for harm and. so we there's no g m o's the chip only on there are only you have to live with them well . there are there are a few movies that about you know a year ago in march of two thousand and thirteen we decided to disclose what you know most were on the menu and as we looked into it we've out of there were a couple of culprits one was a soil which is used in a few different. things that you hold water and you know usually to leave a lubricated or is in the green and something and then you know our corn and clark are here as there was some were some g.m.o. so we really politically were able to eliminate us
