GMO plants frequently make headlines. Some foods are labeled "no GMOs" or "non-GMO." In this class, Beth Burrous, biochemist and USBG volunteer, will explain the science behind the headlines and food labels. She will present both sides of the issues surrounding this controversial subject, including food safety, environmental impact and government regulation.
