“Moms Across America” has escalated a year-long campaign against Impossible Foods to push its anti-vaccine, anti-GMO agenda to anyone gullible enough to listen. The group’s latest salvo is a pathetic “news release” full of lies, anti-science rhetoric and ignorance of basic arithmetic.

[Editor’s note: Moms Across America alleged that the plant-based Impossible burger contains ‘highly dangerous’ levels of the weed killer glyphosate. Impossible Foods CEO Rachel Conrad responds. Impossible Foods has published a longer response to MAA’s claims as well.]

MAA’s goal is to eliminate genetic engineering, as well as the vaccines and insulin made using GE technology — while pushing quack products via its marketing and e-commerce site and affiliates.
