Join Food & Water Watch and Forest Hills CSA for a free screening of GMO OMG, a powerful — and entertaining — documentary about genetically engineered foods.

Learn about the risks, questions and concerns surrounding GMO foods!

Afterwards, we'll discuss the current status of GMO labeling as well as the Trump administration's impact on food and water policy and ways to take action here in New York to protect the health and safety of our communities and environment! We'll also hear from Forest Hills CSA about their community supported agriculture program and how to sign up! The CSA sources its produce from Golden Earthworm, an organic farm on the north fork of Long Island.
RSVP to: Meredyth Holmes

About the Film:
GMO OMG director and concerned father Jeremy Seifert is in search of answers. How do GMOs affect our children, the health of our planet and our freedom of choice? And perhaps the ultimate question, which Seifert tests himself: is it even possible to reject the food system currently in place, or have we lost something we can’t gain back? These and other questions take Seifert on a journey from his family’s table to Haiti, Paris, Norway and the lobby of agri-giant Monsanto, from which he is unceremoniously ejected. Along the way we gain insight into a question that is of growing concern to citizens the world over: what's on your plate?
