Daily Planner: What's In Your Food?

One of the biggest topics surrounding food is genetic modification. Are GMOs safe? Could this technology be the answer to global hunger?

These are questions that will be held up to the spotlight when the Truth About GMOs Tour stops at the Sunrise Center in Corte Madera on Wednesday at 10 a.m. GMO food expert Jeffrey Smith and Marin pediatrician Myrto Ashe, MD. will be among the main speakers at the free event.

Fresh produce, including figs, oranges, berries and more, is available every Wednesday from noon to 5 p.m. Check out the Recipe of the Week every Saturday for tips from the farmers market.

• The Larkspur Walkers welcome you to join them on walks that start and finish at Piper Park.
