What exactly are GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms), and why should we learn as much as we can about them? The community group Save S-VE will host a free screening of the documentary film GMO OMG on Sunday, Feb. 28, at 2 p.m. in the Van Etten Community Center located at 4 Gee St.
A discussion will follow with Jonathan Latham, PhD and Allison Wilson, PhD of the Bioscience Resource Project, who will help put the complex subject in context and answer audience questions.
How do GMOs affect our health, our children’s health, the health of our planet, and our freedom of choice? Filmmaker and father Jeremy Seifert set out to answer these as well as perhaps the ultimate question: Is it even possible to reject the current food system, or have we lost “real” food forever?
Seifert takes viewers on a journey to gain insight into a question that is troubling people all over the world: What is on our plate, and should we be worried?
NON-GMO refreshments will be provided. The event is free and open to all. Donations will be accepted.
