Free movie on genetically engineered food this Sunday

[Guest guest]

THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into the

disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically

engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store shelves

for the past decade.

 

From the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada to the fields of Oaxaca,

Mexico, this film gives a voice to farmers whose lives and livelihoods

have been negatively impacted by this new technology. The health

implications, government policies and push towards globalization are

all part of the reason why many people are alarmed by the introduction

of genetically altered crops into our food supply.

 

Shot on location in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, THE FUTURE OF FOOD

examines the complex web of market and political forces that are

changing what we eat as huge multinational corporations seek to

control the world's food system. The film also explores alternatives

to large-scale industrial agriculture, placing organic and sustainable

agriculture as real solutions to the farm crisis today.

 

This is playing at the Parkway Theatre in Oakland at 2:00 this Sunday

& is free. Check the website for more info...
