This event took place on July 22, 2008, as part of the Authors@Google series.</p> <p>More than half of America's processed grocery products -- from corn flakes to granola bars to diet drinks -- contain genetically altered ingredients. They are unlabeled and untested, and we are eating them. "Your Right to Know" is a complete, full-color reference guide outlining how unmarked genetically modified foods go from the factory to the family dining table, and what consumers can do about the health risks they present. This accessible guide is for concerned parents -- as well as anyone concerned about genetically altered foods -- who want to know more about the potential health risks, the organic alternatives, and the methods available to counter the corporate takeover of the food we eat.</p> <p>ANDREW KIMBRELL serves as the executive director of the Center for Food Safety and the International Center for Technology Assessment and has been involved in public interest legal activity for nearly 20 years. His articles have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Harpers, Utne Reader, and the Ecologist. Andrew lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife and two children.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/47105-authors-google-andrew-kimbrell">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/46969-half-the-holocaust-to-die-in-somalia-because-of-u-s-policies 2008-07-26T08:44:55Z rattansifan <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8o5UR35gpno&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8o5UR35gpno&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/46969-half-the-holocaust-to-die-in-somalia-because-of-u-s-policies"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/55538" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Afshin Rattansi in Tehran talks to Bettina Luescher of the World Food Program about the threat of famine to 3 million Somalis.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/46969-half-the-holocaust-to-die-in-somalia-because-of-u-s-policies">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/46880-orange-kitten-eating 2008-07-26T08:37:48Z choosewisely <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fKhO34Jt0Vs&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fKhO34Jt0Vs&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/46880-orange-kitten-eating"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/55415" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>First time off the teat!</p> </div> <a href="/blog/46880-orange-kitten-eating">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/46727-the-onion-chef-s-dream-omelet-came-to-him-in-a-dream 2008-07-26T08:22:30Z Onion News Network <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sg0nYhUB7CA&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sg0nYhUB7CA&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/46727-the-onion-chef-s-dream-omelet-came-to-him-in-a-dream"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/55207" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Today Now!

I want to know: am I going to eat or am I going to pay for my prescriptions?</p> <p>JOHN MCCAIN: . . . I don't think you've attached a lot of drama to what is an actual reality. There are people who are making that decision. Now, we have the Medicare part B program, as you know, prescription drug program. I think we made a serious mistake when we didn't say that wealthy Americans, like Warren Buffet, like Bill Gates, like myself should pay for their own prescription drugs. There's no reason for you to pay for wealthy Americans. [applause] I would impose a cost on that. I think the other thing that I would do . . . is that if you want to go to Canada and buy a prescription drug there, then, by god, you should be able to make the trip. And I think that the prescription drug companies should have to compete . . . in the VA . . . the prescription drug companies have to compete to provide prescription drug benefits to our veterans. That's not the case with Medicare part D . . . I think also we have to redouble our efforts to get generic drugs onto the market . . . so I don't think there's one specific answer. But, no American should go to bed tonight and having to make a choice between eating and their prescription drugs. I think we have gone some distance in solving that but that's one of the reasons that people should have a health insurance policy that would have at least some impact on that ability to obtain additional prescription drugs if they need to . . . </p> <p>LABEL: <br />JM OH 5-1 (EW#5) DAGH -- Clip H</p> <p>To download a high res version of this clip, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/db5rsup0kw</p> <p>To download the full campaign event, VISIT: Tape 1: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/56q9jm2ccs; Tape 2: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/qwcj4u6scw</p> </div> <a href="/blog/43638-mccain-town-hall-05-01-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/43476-street-food-new-york-june28-part-1 2008-07-05T04:41:17Z aljazeera <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/K41HCA-X8fM&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/K41HCA-X8fM&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/43476-street-food-new-york-june28-part-1"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/49807" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>One of the world's most famous hymns to commerce, New York's thousands of street food vendors - and the fare they sell - reflect its eclectic ethnic mix.
