Food Evolution

March 22, 2018 | 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT

Meredith College will host a screening of the film Food Evolution on March 22, at 6 p.m. in Jones Auditorium.

Amidst a brutally polarizing debate marked by passion, suspicion, and confusion, Food Evolution​, from Academy Award-nominated director Scott Hamilton Kennedy explores the controversy surrounding GMOs and food. Traveling from Hawaiian papaya groves to banana farms in Uganda to the cornfields of Iowa, the film, narrated by Neil deGrasse Tyson, wrestles with the emotions and the science driving one of the most heated arguments of our time. In the GMO debate, both pro- and anti- camps claim science is on their side. Who’s right?

Watch the Food Evolution trailer

The film will be followed by a panel discussion with Dr. Anastasia Bodnar, Dr. Fred Gould, and Dr. Michelle Schroeder-Moreno
