DESCRIPTION:TWO FILMS ON GMO-FREE FOOD  FOOD FOR THOUGHT  Many of us unknowingly eat 
 genetically altered foods -- foods not labeled or tested -- every day.  
 European countries reject what are being called \"Frankenfoods.\"  Here in 
 the US, the situation will only get worse until the American public demands 
 the right to know which foods have been genetically altered.  This video is 
 a wake-up call -- and a call to action.  FIELD OF GENES  Technology has 
 quietly slipped into the food chain, shifting genes from one life form to 
 another.  Multi-national chemical companies have created genetically 
 altered potatoes, corn, soybeans, and canola  that variously are 
 toxic to pests, herbicide tolerant, and dependent on chemical inputs.  The 
 biotechnology industry claims that its new foods have great potential for 
 everyone, including the world\'s hungry.  But skepticism abounds as to 
 whether the hungry, or indeed the family farmer, or even the consumer, will 
 derive substantial benefit from this high-tech, heavily capitalized new 
 mode of production.  \n\nThe Films are FREE\nBut donations are 
 welcome\n\nBefore and after the films, everyone\'s invited to indulge in 
 our Humanist Coffee House.  \n
