Flowers Foods believes in good nutrition and healthy eating?

In 2005 Flowers Foods had $1.72 billion in sales and serves over 40% of the US population.
Flowers Foods markets these brands:
Natures Own
Cobblestone Mill
Whitewheat
Sunbeam
Bunny
BlueBird
Mrs. Freshley's
MiCasa
Tesoritos
European Bakery

I just wasted 15 minutes of my life scouring most of these brand's websites for ingredients. Nearly all of them including Nature's Own list High Fructose Corn Syrup as a main ingredient. Most of the ingredients are "dough conditioners" which must be important to the most efficient bakeries in the world.

Here is Flowers Foods Goal directly from their website.


With more than 80 years of experience in the baking industry and a seasoned management team, Flowers Foods has developed a strategic vision that gives it competitive advantages in the marketplace and helps it outperform its peers. This strategic vision has one goal: To increase the value of the company for shareholders.


Oh, OK. It's all about the shareholders.My question for Flowers Foods is:

DO YOU BELIEVE GMO WHEAT AND HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP ARE GOOD AND HEALTHY?
