May NS/S Salon
"The Unhealthy Truth about GMOs Hidden in our Food" with Melissa Diane Smith
May 21, 2012
5:30-7:30 PM
Join us for another thought-provoking Salon as we welcome Melissa Diane Smith of the GMO Free Project of Tucson for an eye-opening look into GMOs. Melissa will discuss the basics about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) hidden in many foods and the health risks associated with them. The event will include the short film "Hidden Dangers in Kids' Meals" and nutritionist Melissa will explain steps you can take to avoid GM foods.
Native Seeds/SEARCH Salons happen every third Monday of the month at our Retail Store at 3061 N. Campbell Road, and have a little something for anyone who has ever wielded a fork or pitchfork. Bring your juiciest ideas and appetite for mind-watering conversations.
