Jen L @RT85725677 Mar 13, 2023 I found this interesting and personally have no problem with GMOs. I'm a gardener and understand there have been people breeding food plants for eons. However, I also found watching this felt uncomfortable. The cheerleading exercise for Monsanto was a clear bias the producers of this documentary were not able to overcome with any sort of balanced perspective. I prefer to plant and grow open pollinated varieties of food plants. I choose to create a balanced garden of native plants, ornamentals for pollinators, food plants of many types with a focus on those which produce perennially in my growing zone. I believe the best chance for future generations is to establish food forests all over the globe and return to foraging for a lot of our food. Eating seasonal and locally while increasing the diversity of food plants we are able to consume is the key to successful food security while also having th3 potential to save a lot of our biodiversity.

See more Mar 19, 2018 Excellent film that presents both sides of the GMO issue, but then lays out the scientific facts that the general public isn't being given by those trying to demonize the technology and use fear to push an agenda. See more Nov 27, 2017 Farmer here that has been using gmo seeds for many years. I highly recommend. I made an account just to leave a review for this movie. This is the most accurate documentary on food production I have seen thus far. No fear mongering, just facts. This movie does have an agenda, like any documentary but I felt they were respectful in the way they showed the opposition and the agenda was not overpowering. I appreciated the science based information and Neil deGrass Tyson adds to the credibility.

Among a number of food fear/fad related documentaries being promoted lately, it's refreshing to finally find one that I can get behind. Food Evolution is laser-focused on objective science, and impressively it explains the truth without slinging mud against opponents, but instead respectfully highlighting that we actually all share common goals and charitably representing their representatives' arguments. Nice bonus that it's narrated by Neil deGrasse Tyson; you so rarely disappoint me, NDT. See more Sep 9, 2017 As a scientist in this field, it's about time that the science got a say in this debate. It's always heartbreaking to see such a powerful technology go to waste because of misunderstanding. Food Evolution does an amazing job of telling both sides of the story, while also making sure to give the facts behind the issues. This should be a required viewing for anyone trying to make informed decisions on the foods that they eat. See more Read all reviews
