FYI, here's info re the "anti-GM" activists campaign to pressure Frito-Lay.

> PLEASE SPREAD THIS FAR AND WIDE:
>
> FRITOS-LAY has announced it would no longer use genetically engineered corn
> in its produces. THIS IS THE START OF SOMETHING BIG. The biotech giants
> have started a campaign to pressure Fritos to reverse their decision. If
> Fritos holds to their commitment, this may very well be the start of the
> downfall of genetically engineered foods in America.
>
> FRITOS IS CAREFULLY WATCHING THE CONSUMER RESPONSE.
>
> PLEASE send them an email <consumer.affairs@fritolay.com>
> or call them 1-800-352-4477 (ask for operator 100)
>
> Tell them you applaud their decision.
> Tell them that you do NOT want to eat foods that have been genetically
> engineered to act as an insecticide.
> Tell them that you don't believe that genetically engineered food
> is safe for consumer or environmental health and you commend the
> direction they are taking. And that it would be a big
> disappointment if they cave in and reverse their decision.
> Tell them that now they should go certified organic!!
