GMOs — or genetically modified organisms — have been a hot topic around the world for the past two decades, as they’ve come to dominate the global food system. In Food Fight: GMOs and the Future of the American Diet environmental writer McKay Jenkins travels across the U.S. (from the Monsanto headquarters in St. Louis to the papaya fields of Hawaii) to get to the bottom of the GMO debate. Join Jenkins at the Bookworm to hear about his discoveries!
Jenkins also wrote The Last Ridge: The Epic Story of America’s First Mountain Soldiers and the Assault on Hitler’s Europe, the story of how the 10th Mountain Division was formed.
