09-06-17 Food Evolution Part II

09/06/17

This week, Rob Lerner will lead-off by continuing the discussion from last week’s film, Food Evolution. The following article (sniped from the pages of Scientific American) is highly relevant. Also, this link on the global potential of Organic Farming from the WorldWatch Institute:

The main event this week is a mystery topic to be introduced by David McClintock.

The fallback topic is Breaking News, featuring stunning and disturbing advances in the technology of audio/video production.

First, a podcast: http://www.radiolab.org/story/breaking-news/.

Followed by a video: http://futureoffakenews.com/

Both are quite chilling in their implications.
