This week’s featured video was published by Iowa State University to help explain what genetically modified organisms or GMOs are and why these crops are used. This is a very controversial topic, with contrasting points of view trying to inform consumers about GMOs in foods. Many consumers really don’t understand what GMOs are, or the science behind their use. Dr. Ruth Macdon, Chair of the Food Science and Human Nutrition Department, Iowa State University provides a science-based overview that can be used to share on social media or shared with people who ask questions about the safety of GMO crops.
