If you’re wondering how the title of this week’s news postings ties into the news, it was inspired and borrowed from Kevin Folta’s recent post from Apr 2 at Medium,?Risky Whiskey or Science Under the Influence? ?要するに, you have to read Folta’s piece on whiskey and non-GMO marketing. ?最初, it’s good. ?第2, he is gifted at explaining things that may be complicated in a way most of us can more easily understand. ?Three, it ties into another piece,?世界的に, 消費者 ?confused? about food labels and claims, says study?– which boils down to what some consumers think food labels mean versus what they actually do mean. ?Ahhh, the problems some people manufacture to make a buck (or millions).
