Think & Drink Brings Food for Thought to Tables in Both Seattle and Yakima
SEATTLE AND YAKIMA – Join Humanities Washington for our next pair of Think & Drink conversations, Food for Thought: GMOs, Home-Cooked Meals, and the American Relationship to Food. The discussion will visit Naked City Brewery and Taphouse in Seattle Oct. 15 and Gilbert Cellars in Yakima Oct. 29.
These free events will examine the way Americans relate to food – from home-cooked meals to grab-and-go snacks, the obesity epidemic to diet trends, and more. We will also talk about the upcoming Initiative 522, which would require labeling for genetically modified food in our state, and ask how this initiative relates to cultural trends and attitudes.
