Assignment:

Watch the 2016 documentary "Food Evolution" via the FIT Kanopy link. The 92-minute film addresses the complexities of safely and sustainably feeding an expanding global population. The film investigates the frequent discord between scientists, consumers, marketers, and social media influencers.

1) Early in the film we see several people say they are against GMOs, but they admit they don't know what GMOs are. How can people be fearful of things when they don't know what they are?

2) After viewing FOOD EVOLUTION, how might you improve communication of scientific topics?

3) What are some common myths about GMOs?

4) What is the most 'surprising' piece of information learned from human nutrition. Has this impacted the way you view/assess health & nutrition information that is distributed via marketing and social media?
