The documentary film “Genetic Roulette: The Gamble of Our Lives” will be shown at the Peterborough Community Theatre on Tuesday, July 5, at 6 p.m.
The screening is part of the monthly “Food for Thought” film series sponsored by the Cornucopia Project.
“Genetic Roulette”suggests genetically engineered foods as a major contributor to rising disease rates in the U.S. population, especially among children. Gastrointestinal disorders, allergies, inflammatory diseases, and infertility are just some of the problems implicated in humans, pets, livestock, and lab animals that eat genetically modified soybeans and corn.
The documentary was written by Jeffrey M. Smith, author of the bestselling book “Seeds of Deception,” and produced by the Institute for Responsible Technology. It features interviews with medical doctors, veterinarians, farmers, educators, nutritionists and scientists from many fields.
This event is free and open to the public.
