DESCRIPTION:The evening begins with an optional social hour and pot luck supper at 6:00 
 pm,\nfollowed by the film at 7:30 pm, followed by a discussion at the end 
 of the film.\n\nFED UP\n\nAbout 70% of the food we eat contains genetically 
 modified ingredients and is not labeled.  The biotechnology industry is 
 spending $50 million a year to convince us that this technology is our only 
 hope for feeding the world and saving the environment.  Family farmers are 
 disappearing at an astonishing rate as people continue to go hungry both 
 here and abroad.  Toxic agricultural chemicals continue to poison our air, 
 food, and water and put farm workers in serious danger.  What's a person to 
 do?  Using hilarious and disturbing archival footage and featuring 
 interviews with farmers, scientists, government officials and activists, 
 this eye opening film presents an entertaining, informative, and compelling 
 overview of our current food production system from the Green Revolution to 
 the Biotech Revolution and what we can do about it.  It explores the 
 unintentional effects of pesticides, the resistance of biotechnology 
 companies to food labeling, and the links between government officials and 
 major biotechnology and chemical companies.  This important film answers 
 many questions regarding genetic engineering, genetic pollution, and modern 
 pesticides. It even introduces us to local Bay Area organic farmers -- 
 presenting community supported agriculture and small-scale organic farming 
 as real alternatives to agribusiness and industrial food.\n\nWheelchair
