GMOs
Season 1
Episode 18
GMOs, or Genetically Modified Organisms, are created when scientists take DNA from one plant species and add it to the DNA of another. Jessica Lundberg of Lundberg Family Farms advocates initiatives that would impose mandatory labeling of food products using GMO ingredients because she believes consumers have the right know what’s in their food.
