Layne, The Token Gimp!
Here was my reply to Kellogg's:
Dear Idalia,

Some of what is contained in your reply may be true, but mostly you replied with a prepared statement.
Please do not be offended, may I ask your nationality and where this reply came from?

Kellogg's primary objective is to reward the share holders as they invest with an expectation of relatively shortterm cash gains 10 or 20 years maximum with limited risk. Financial reward is what they demand.

What most of the customers want is a safe, quality product, at an affordable price. Kashi is promoted like a green product, but very few people know it is made by Kelloggs. Why? Because it would hurt Kashi sales if the public knew the truth. The Same goes for other brands, Morning Star

Some dairy farmers decided to add genetically engineered Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH/BST) The Federal Government has declared it unsafe and are warning people as such.
The European union has banned them. Most everyone I know adds milk to cereal so know we are adding modified to modified to modified and so on.

If you are confident then publish Kellogg's studies.
Perhaps Kellogg's can explain why people continue to have increased rates in celiac disease, diabetes, along with acute obesity and a variety of auto-immune diseases.

GMO grains are in cereal, made with GMO and/or GE beet sugar, using GMO soy oil to replace transfats.
Why has Kellogg’s has worked to block US legislation requiring producers to label items containing GMOs? I will be contacting my Senators & representatives as well as NFO to let them know GMO/GE Food is wrong.

The lists go on, but you get my point.
It is time to start using only pure, unmolested, heirloom seed in all your products.
I for one and many more I know will be boycotting your products. I've read the history of the company and I believe the founder Will Keith Kellogg would roll over in his grave if he knew the direction his namesake company had taken.

I am an American Capitalist, fiscal Conservative with socially Libertarian, Christian views and I was raised on a dairy farm in Wisconsin with a large garden and know what food shopuld taste like.

PEACE,

LAYNE NELSON

Layne,

Thank you for your comments regarding the use of plants. Like you, we want only the best ingredients to go into our products.

Biotech ingredients are safe and have become common in the open market. Sixty to seventy percent of packaged foods in the U.S. include biotechnology crops. Even organic ingredients can contain biotech ingredients due to cross-pollination.

We use biotech ingredients based on the backing of groups including the World Health Organization, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and the American Medical Association that confirm there are no safety concerns.

You have placed trust in us to provide healthy, nutritious, and safe food. We will continue to evaluate our ingredients, suppliers and product formulas to give you the best products possible.


Sincerely,
