Having found an interesting note on KFC’s website, I decided to write to them.
Dear KFC,
I was recently browsing your website, when I found the following statement at the small print at the bottom of the page:
“Our research shows that UK customers don’t want genetically modified foods in KFC products; so naturally, we have ensured none of our products contain genetically modified ingredients.”
You seem to be pointing out that this is what we as consumers want, presumably rather than what is the sensible thing.
Therefore, I just wanted to write and let you know that I DO WANT genetically modified ingredients in KFC products.
Genetic modification is nothing new – we have been adapting plants to suit our needs in agriculture for thousands of years. Using GM crops allows us to reduce the amount of agricultural chemicals used, and is therefore be better for the environment. The EU maintains strict controls over GM foods to ensure they are safe.
For all these reasons, I wanted to inform you that some of your customers do want genetically modified ingredients in KFC products, and hope that you will re-consider your position.
Yours faithfully,
Chris Worfolk
