Are your children being genetically engineered?
Come find out on Sunday Jan. 24th at 3 PM at the Park Slope United Methodist Church, 6th Avenue and 8th Street. The Park Slope Food Coop is hosting a panel discussion featuring experts on the topic of safe food labeling and genetic engineering. Panelists will be Michael Potter, founder and CEO of Eden Foods and Dr. Michael Hansen, senior scientist at the Consumers Union. The event will be moderated by Nancy Romer, organizer of the Brooklyn Food Conference. Co-sponsored by the Safe Food Labeling committee of the Park Slope Food Coop, SOS Food/NYSAGE, PSUMC Social Action committee and the Park Slope Circle of the Brooklyn Food Conference.
Are you aware that under the watchful eyes of Deputy Commission Michael Taylor, the FDA declared GMO's (genetically modified organisms) "substantially equivalent" to conventional foods. Michal Taylor is now back at the FDA and rumor has it, he may be set to undo some of the wrongs perpetrated during his previous tenure.
Come find out what's in your food and why the US, unlike most of the EU, Japan and Autstralia, permits GMO's into our food without mandatory labeling. This is a free event. For more information, contact Greg Todd at 718-496-5139.

For some perspective (and to prevent rehashing the same discussion):

Please note the last activity on the thread is over fours years old. SInce then we have a new, and some would say, more enlightened president, who is in the process of over-turning many of the pro-industry standards passed by the previous administrations.
Times change. -
If our children were being genetically engineered, I don't think they'd be like that.
I shall now go find a safehouse to hide in. -
Is it too late for them to be "re-engineered?" Mine didn't come out right.
