Food Sleuth Radio, Margaret Reeves Interview

From Dan Hemmelgarn | Part of the Food Sleuth Radio series | 28:00

Consumers increasingly demand “clean food,” produced without pesticides. Our decisions to purchase foods grown without pesticides not only benefits our own families but the farm workers and their families who are at greater risk of certain cancers and neurological diseases when they are exposed in the fields. Unfortunately, the pesticide industry often lobbies against policies that could protect farm workers. Join Food Sleuth Radio host and Registered Dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn, for her interview with Margaret Reeves, Ph.D., Senior Scientist and advocate at the Pesticide Action Network. Reeves describes pesticide risks, the role of scientists, and strategies for protecting vulnerable consumers and agricultural workers, including the new Equitable Farm Initiative: http://www.equitablefood.org/

Food Sleuth Radio, Percy Schmeiser Interview

From Dan Hemmelgarn | Part of the Food Sleuth Radio series | 28:00

Did you know that Canadian canola farmer, Percy Schmeiser, was sued by Monsanto when his farm was contaminated with Monsanto’s GMO canola seed? Join Food Sleuth Radio host and Registered Dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn, for her interview with Schmeiser, who describes the intimidation his family suffered, and the lengthy legal battle he fought with Monsanto. Schmeiser describes how and why farmers were sold on GMO seeds (with promises for greater yields, less herbicide use and greater control of weeds). Decades later, farmers have seen greater use of herbicides, higher seed costs, loss of seed choice, and loss of freedom to save seeds. Farmers in the U.S. and Canada have no legal recourse if their land is contaminated with genetically engineered seed. In Schmeiser’s case, his decades-long research on canola seed development is now owned by Monsanto.
