GMOGMOs: What's in Our Food?
Sunday, January 12, 2pm
At Colonial Theatre, Keene 

We invite you all to come hear Gary Hirshberg, Chair of Stonyfield Farm and the Just Label It campaign, speak about Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs).

Although over 90% of Americans agree that GMOs should be labeled, many of us are confused about the facts.  Come learn more and how you can best support this national movement.

About the Just Label It Campaign
The Just Label It (JLI) campaign is a national coalition of more than 650 organizations dedicated to bringing about mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods in the U.S.: www.justlabelit.org.

But what if I told you that just one simple resolution could accomplish just about every resolution I've listed at the beginning of this article, all in one fell swoop? Eleven resolutions in one? And what if I told you that one single resolution could actually be easy?

Yet eating bacterially rich food is an important part of how I stay healthy.
