The focus of this not-to-miss evening is a debate between two Real Food movement leaders,
Dr. Joseph Mercola of mercola.com and Joel Salatin of Polyface Farm as they debate:
Should the Federal government mandate GMO labeling on food?
Where should the GMO war be fought? Are we drawing the battle lines in the right places?
Are we creating unintended consequences by our regulatory requests?
Joe and Joel will explore these questions and many more during the Debate of the Decade.
