Everyone pretty much knows who buys "goat cheese". I do not, but Shirley apparently does, often. After her recent visit, I ate the left-over and admittadely it was a nice rare taste. I noted that the plastic sleeve packaging offered that this was not just ordinary goat cheese, but was "gmo-ge" certified by "nsfnongmo.org".
Who knows where the "genetically modifed organisms/genetically engineered" attributes that were certified, to not be present, might have, if offered by a less hip cheese company, have been present. Perhaps engineered bacteria in the pasturizing process, or maybe the milk optionally would have been from a "gm goat". Who knows, but what probably is true is that those who buy goat cheese likely pay a 30% premiem for something purported to be gmo certified.
Likely they could have gotten another dollar if they would have advertised "gluten free". Deceptive representations, coding subtle appeals to tribal identities, abound in today's upside-down culture. There is nothing we can do about it....so smile... or just say "Cheese".
