>>>How do we decide how to decide?

Amidst a brutally polarized debate marked by passion, suspicion and confusion, FOOD EVOLUTION,  by  Academy  Award(r)-nominated  director Scott  Hamilton  Kennedy, explores the controversy surrounding GMOs and  food.  Traveling from  Hawaiian  papaya  groves,  to  banana  farms  in  Uganda  to  the cornfields  of Iowa,   the   film,   narrated   by   esteemed  science  communicator Neil deGrasse  Tyson, wrestles  with  the  emotions  and  the  science  driving  one  of  the  most heated arguments of our time.
