Jimmy Kimmel jumped into the discussion of the “Gluten-free” trend, showing that many people who avoided wheat gluten did not understand what it was or why they were avoiding it. Now, Jimmy Kimmel has done the same thing with GMOs. He sent a film crew to a farmer’s market to find out if people avoided GMOs, why, and what “GMO” stood for. This is the hilarious result.

Nice one Karl, I’ll be forwarding this to friends and family. Apparently I should consider late night tv. Kimmel’s last remark was prophesy. Almost as funny as the video.

Not only was this funny enough on its own, you should read what some farmers said.
