STUDIO CITY (CBS) — Over the past decade, the attention and controversy has been growing over genetically modified foods.

It’s no longer a subject debated by scientists but rather by consumers who worry about if and how GMOs affect our health.

On Saturday morning, Eric Herm appeared on KCAL9 News to discuss this and more.

Herm is a fourth generation farmer and author of “Son of a Farmer, Child of the Earth.”

Also, Herm will be a keynote speaker this weekend at the Conscious Living Expo at the LAX Hilton.
