Did you know that the biotech industry works to discredit and silence scientists who question the health and safety of genetically engineered crops and their associated herbicides? Join registered dietitian Melinda Hemmelgarn for her interview with Paul Thacker, investigative journalist and former Fellow at the Edmond J. Saffra Center for Ethics at Harvard. In his article, "Flacking for GMOs: How the Biotech Industry Cultivates Positive Media - and Discourages Criticism", Thacker exposes the inside workings of agribusiness giant Monsanto and their relationships and strategies with academia, reporters, and social media. Produced by Dan Hemmelgarn at KOPN in Columbia, MO.
