Eco Movie Night: Genetic Roulette, The Gamble of Our Lives

EVENT DATE: Saturday, August 9, 7:00 p.m. FREE
VENUE: Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center, 13325 Beach Ave, Marina del Rey, CA, 90292
Please RSVP: TransitionMarVista@gmail.com

When the U.S. government ignored repeated warnings by its own scientists and allowed untested genetically modified crops into our environment and food supply, it was a gamble of unprecedented proportions. The health of all living things and all future generations were put at risk by an infant technology. After two decades, physicians and scientists have uncovered a grave trend. The same serious health problems found in lab animals, livestock, and pets eating GM foods are now on the rise in the U.S. population. And when people and animals stop eating genetically modified organisms (GMOs), their health improves.

Join us for a free screening of Genetic Roulette, the seminal documentary by consumer advocate Jeffrey M. Smith, author of the world’s bestselling book on GMOs, Seeds of Deception. The film provides compelling evidence to explain the deteriorating health of Americans, especially children, and offers a recipe for protecting ourselves and our future. Following the film, local garden master David King, founder of the Seed Library of Los Angeles (SLOLA), will lead an open discussion.
