Opinion: Celebrities, environmental activist groups should stop shaming parents into avoiding GMOs

Guilt e

The Environmental Media Association has teamed up with the organic dairy farm Clover Sonoma to celebrate Dairy Month in an unusual fashion: opposing genetically engineered crops with B-list celebrities. Jordana Brewster, Amy Smart, Carter Oosterhouse, and Baron Davis all appear in a commercial-type video aimed at convincing parents that good parents wouldnโ€™t dare feed their children GMOs.

The crux of the campaignโ€™s argument is that all families deserve to feed their children non-GMO or organic foods. But the campaign amounts to nothing more than an elaborate example of parent-shaming. The message is simple: You just arenโ€™t a good parent if you feed your children food containing genetically modified ingredients. Nothing could be further from the truth.
