Ben & Jerry's That's My Jam Core

This was the core flavor that I was most skeptical about. Not that I don't love raspberries or jam or chocolate or anything, but I just didn't know how I felt about jam in  my ice cream. But a detour about B&J's first. So the core flavors were the first flavors to be both Fair Trade Certified and non-GMO. The fair trade part is super cool and I'm all about it. Maybe I'll talk more about another post. But today I want to talk about GMOs. Ben & Jerry's generally has an anti-GMO stance and is pro the mandatory labeling of GMOs (http://www.benjerry.com/values/issues-we-care-about/our-stance-on-gmo and http://www.benjerry.com/values/issues-we-care-about/our-stance-on-gmo/our-non-gmo-standards). Now I can be down with mandatory labeling. It doesn't hurt people to know what they are eating. Maybe it would confuse some people and some people would stop buying GMOs for the wrong reasons, but I still support the labeling movement. But I'm not as anti-GMO...
