As soon as I read this (thanks, Greg!) I sent
Frito-Lay an email:

--
Dear Frito-Lay representatives,
I recently received an email forwarded to me, which
asked people to write to your company and tell them
'how pleased we are' that you have decided against
using GM plants. This sort of blind technophobia
amazes me; it happens time and again throughout
history, with people never really learning to accept
changes with an open mind. This is the same sort of
'change is bad' attitude which sweeps the 'general
public' with every major technological advance. Cars!
Phones! Elevators! Probably even as far back as the
wheel! I sincerely hope your company does not fall
into the position of holding back great technological
advances at the whim of a 'general public' for the
most part entirely uneducated on the true facts of GM,
who are filled with a fervor based entirely on
speculation, misinformation, and media hype.
Please consider what I have said, and thank you for
your time.
Sincerely,
Ziana Astralos
