Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) Discussion at Jones Library, June 10

Genetic Roulette: The Gamble of our Lives
A Documentary Screening & Discussion

The Jones Library will host a screening of this important documentary, which examines the health effects caused by use of GMOs (genetically modified organisms) on Tuesday, June 10, 2014 at 6:30 pm in the Woodbury Room of the Jones Library.  

The screening will be followed by a question and answer period with Jack Kittredge, from the Northeast Organic Farming Association/Massachusetts Chapter.
GMO (genetically modified organism) labeling is an issue that is being brought before legislative committees this year.  

Many nonprofit organizations are working in support of a mandatory labeling law on foods in Massachusetts.  This documentary discusses the health problems associated with consuming GMOs, and features doctors, nutritionists and other health professionals whose clinical experiences have created a grave concern that these ingredients are so widely used in our food.  

This sometimes shocking film may change your diet and help you protect your family.

This event is co-sponsored by the Jones Library and NOFA/Mass. 

Free and open to the public.
