Just a REMINDER that our membership meeting will be on Tuesday, February 10 at 5:30 pm in the auditorium of the Extension Office.
Our social hour theme: TASTING “RED”: Spaghetti, Lasagna, Barbecue;
Strawberry, Cherry, Or Raspberry salads or desserts.
Come and bring any one of your favorite, delicious “RED” dish servings!
Our educational program “GMO Seeds & Plants” will be presented by Dr. Ed Stephenson.
For those of you who are like me and may not know, a GMO is defined as an organism whose genome has been altered by the techniques of genetic engineering so that its DNA contains one or more genes not normally found there.
Note: A high percentage of food crops, such as corn and soybeans, are genetically modified. (dictionary.reference.com)
From UGA Extension Service:
Men’s Journal provided a balanced discussion of GMOs and their place in agriculture.
A January blog entry from the UGA Extension Service has a link to an article “How do we know what to believe?’ about GMOS.
Thank’s to Judith Rives for contributing to this post.
Hope to see you at the meeting!
