Ep 81: On this episode we chat about some recent events revolving around food labeling and animal rights.
First, we go over the new rebranding and labeling of GMO products, which are now dubbed "bioengineered". This marketing tactic comes after years of consumer concerns regarding the safety of genetically modified food and organisms. But what does that actually mean for us and the food industry?
Next we chat about Lolita, a 56 year old captive orca, who has recently fallen ill with pneumonia in the Miama Seaqurium. We discuss government guidelines, marine life captivity, and wild orcas.
