Friday Night Focus on Food Film Series
Genetic Roulette: The Gamble of our Lives
Friday, October 19, 7:30 pm
Trinitarian Congregational Church
54 Walden Street, Concord Center
Doors open at 7 PM (Hubbard Street Entrance)
Are you and your family on the wrong side of a
bet about the safety of the food you and your children eat? When the
US government allowed untested genetically engineered groups into our food
supply, it was a gamble of unprecedented proportions.
Twenty
years later, scientists report a growing body of evidence that connects
GMO's with health problems, environmental damage and violation of
consumer rights.
Transparency
is a fundamental principle to support a democratic society. Dr. Henry Vaillant,
Former Chief of the Department of Medicine and Trustee, Emerson Hospital,
says: "You are what you eat
and you are entitled to know if your food has been genetically
modified."
Genetic Roulette provides compelling evidence to explain the deteriorating
health of Americans, especially among children, and offers a recipe for
protecting ourselves and our future...including food labeling. Learn more about
the GMO labeling referendum in California!
93%
of Americans believe GMO's should be labeled.
We
thank Debra Stark of West Concord’s “Natural Gourmet” who highly
recommended the film for our Focus on Food series, and is an advocate for
non-GMO foods.
