Description
Member Event:
To eat, or not to eat? That is the question. In Canada, crops like corn and soy are often genetically modified. These modifications can improve the crop’s nutrients, increase the yield, and strengthen it against weather, pests, and disease. But are they safe to eat?
Scientific research suggests they are safe. But it is natural to be concerned for your health, and to wonder about the environmental and economic effect of genetically modifying our food. Science on Tap: Genetically Modified Food for Thought will feature a panel of experts to dive into these issues and to answer your budding questions.
