Description
In this lesson, from the New York Times Learning Network, students learn about the different reactions that American and European consumers have had to genetically modified foods and represent different perspectives in a debate about whether grocery stores should stock and label them. Each student then designs a television advertisement encouraging or discouraging consumers from buying genetically modified foods.
