The Joliet Public Library's Black Road branch will show 'The Future of Food' at 6 p.m. Wednesday (Earth Day) at the library, 3395 Black Road in Joliet. After the documentary, there will be a discussion and you can enjoy organic popcorn. There will also be info on saving the environment and going green.
This move is fantastic and you will want to have people around to discuss it with. It's sometimes hard to find, short of using Netflix, so this is a great opportunity. Basically, the doc examines genetically modified crops and whether they're bringing about an end to world hunger as promised. It's a sobering watch, and covers so many aspects, like what GM foods are doing to U.S. farmers.
The showing kicks off an Earth Month at the library branch. More to come on that.

husband are looking to cut the chemicals and get back to basics -- minus the
granola and hemp clothing. They live in a home they bought last year in
Plainfield, where they're making changes to create their own little patch of
utopia.
