See what Bill Gates had to say about world hunger, genetic engineering of crops, and agriculture research in this recent Huffington Post article. Upcoming foodblog posts will discuss genetic engineering and modern agricultural practices.
Did last week’s foodblog whet your appetite for volunteer opportunities? Next week, as a service learning class project, Moraine Valley students will pack meals for Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) which is a charity that ships donated food for malnourished children to more than 70 countries worldwide. Students will be volunteering at the Aurora FMSC location on Tuesday, February 7th from 2:30-4:30 and Thursday, February 9th from 2:30-4:30. Anyone is welcome to join the class. To sign up, click on the link for the day you want to volunteer, and you will be taken to the FMSC site where you will be asked to register.
