DESCRIPTION:Advances in science have allowed the modification of the DNA 
 of organisms\, including crops\, with the aim of increasing their resist
 ance to chemical herbicides\, and to improve their growth.  Genetically 
 modified foods (aka GM foods or biotech foods)\, produced by these crops
 \, have been on the market since 1994.  But genetic modification is not 
 without controversy.  According to Wikipedia\, critics question "risk of
  harm from GM food\, whether GM food should be labeled\, the role of gov
 ernment regulators\, the effect of GM crops on the environment\, the imp
 act of GM crops for farmers\, including farmers in developing countries\
 , the role of GM crops in feeding the growing world population\, and GM 
 crops as part of the industrial agriculture system."\nCome hear Kathleen
  Logan Smith\, Executive Director of the Missouri Coalition for the Envi
 ronment\, give an update on the subject on February 21 as part of the Gr
 een Speaker Series.  The talk will be at 7 pm at Longview Farm Park\, 13
 525 Clayton Road\, Town &amp\; Country\, MO 63141\, and is free and open
  to the public.  The Green Speaker Series is sponsored by Town &amp\; Co
 untry's Green Team Commission.\nRe-usable grocery bags will be given awa
 y at the talk.
