be concerned! An outstanding panel of experts on GMO technologies will discuss
how they are affecting our health and the environment (from 7:30 to 9:30 pm):
Claire Cummings, author of Uncertain Peril, Jeffrey Smith, author of Seeds of
Deception and Genetic Roulette, Andrew Kimbrell from The Center for Food
Safety, and Mark Squire of the Good Earth Natural Foods and The Non-GMO
