Check out this great opportunity to learn more!
 
NPR- Diana Rehm Show- On January 3rd, Diane Rehm will be dedicating her show to the topic of labeling genetically engineered foods. She will be presenting both sides of the debate and Gary Hirshberg, CE-Yo of Stonyfield Farm will be presenting the pro-labeling side. This is a great opportunity for listeners to be introduced to the issue and we hope to drive as many people to listen as possible. Next week we will send out details and any help promoting it would help us reach our goals. 
 
Happy Listening!
