I am honestly stunned to share that company leadership has officially committed to offering these biotech choices on their shelves. This outcome is entirely due to the 257 of you who kept pushing for a science-based approach when it felt like a long shot. Please keep watching the shelves to …

We ask Robert G Miller, CEO of Albertsons, to commit to science and offer consumers the choice to buy the new second generation biotech products. The White Russet Potato, Arctic Apple, and AquaBounty Salmon have a huge potential for consumer acceptance. Please do not cave in to demands from anti technology extremists.

I want safe, nutritious, sustainable foods in my grocery store, and this includes genetically modified foods. Please carry gmo salmon, Arctic apples and simplot potatoes in your stores. Support science. Support American farmers.

If the people advocating banning this food were actually about "choice" like they say they are, then they would respect our right to choose this food. Don't cave to them!

There is no food 'clean' enough for the anti-science activists. Personally, I see the huge advantage - to the environment and to consumers - present in these biotech crops.

As a PhD in biology, I'm one of th people particularly well-suited to understand what GMOs are and how they are made. If anything, they are far safer than artificially selected foods. Don't halt the progress of science because some people fear what they don't understand.

Do not succumb to fear based intimidation tactics by well funded stalking horses for the organic industry (http://academicsreview.org/2014/04/why-consumers-pay-more-for-organic-foods-fear-sells-and-marketers-know-it/). Please instead follow the facts http://www.siquierotransgenicos.cl/2015/06/13/more-than-240-organizations-and-scientific-institutions-support-the-safety-of-gm-crops/).
