The food we eat is supposed to be safe. There has been an epidemic in this country of food borne allergies but has anyone asked why? This course will look at GMO’s – genetically modified foods. What has happened to our food supply? Educators will learn how foods are genetically altered at its very most basic level – the seed! Discussions will focus on the societal, economical, political and health effects that these GMO’s have on us individually as well as globally. This course is designed for the k-12 educator who wants to make informed food choices for their students and at home. Non-GMO options will be introduced and what we as the consumer can do to help eradicate the use of GMO’s like in a lot of European countries.
