Gary Hirshberg Has a New Vision for our Food System: April 21st in Exeter

Do you wonder if you should worry about genetically modified organisms in your food?  Do you feel powerless when it comes to fully understanding how our food system works and wonder if you can make a difference?

Gary Hirshberg, Chairman of Stonyfield Farms,  has been at the heart of the GMO debate through his "Just Label It" campaign.  

But Gary says that genetically engineered foods are just the tip of the iceberg of a much more fundamental question about how to ensure the safety and sustainability of our foods. He sees a new healthier version of our food system. 

The Food and Health Forum will host Gary on April 21st for a dinner seminar at the Blue Moon Evolution in Exeter, NH from 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm.

Across the country millions of people are fighting to pass bills that would require food companies to label foods that contain genetically engineered foods.  New Hampshire is one them, and two other New England states, Maine and Connecticut, have passed laws that would require labeling (contingent upon other New England states adopting these laws).

To hear Gary's new vision and join in a community discussion register for the dinner seminar at www.foodandhealthforum.com.  

This is Gary's second visit to the Blue Moon Evolution. He packed the house at the Moon two years ago just days after he stepped down as CEO, and just hours before he headed to Washington, DC, to advocate for a more transparent food system.
