In this week's episode, the Flora Fellas discuss another scary topic just in time for spooky season: GMOs (genetically modified organisms)! What are they, how do they differ from traditional hybridized plants, and are they really something to be concerned about? The pair gets into some of the differences between how GMOs have been treated in Europe vs. the United States, as well as some more recent developments on how new GMO and gene editing technologies have been reshaping some of those viewpoints. Listen to find out about Nick's Poison Ivy Challenge, Ethan's surprise gift live on air, and some bonus information about EWG's Clean 15/Dirty Dozen lists for pesticides in produce!
