a couple of interesting articles were suggested to me by Medium today:

the first is interesting, Wild Turkey wiskey ad campaign boating non gmo crops recently, and how companies using people's health fears for advertising.

Interesting irony advertised "healthy" crops in your alcohol :)

I saw a tv program a while ago, talking about gluten free. I think it was ketchup, which is gluten free anyway, but supermarkets put a "gluten free" labelled version in the gluten free aisle, and charge more for it, when it's the same!

the second is perhaps fairly superficial, but interesting look at where the money goes in a restaurant, costs and mark up.

Risky whisky........GMO grains gives you two heads to enjoy the flavour twice as much 

On the serious side GM foods tried hard in the USA to hide GMO labeling from products,,  so you do not know what you are buying.
