I will be meeting with the Smith family to find out more about how they feel about GMO products and the effects of Monsanto on their farm and products.

Kellie has traveled around the world and aided in many sustenance deprived countries. She will have a firsthand opinion on the GMO situation coming from both sides of the spectrum. I am looking forward to interviewing her and learning from her experience.
