Gary Hirshberg

In this discussion with Deepak Chopra, Stonyfield Organic’s Co-Founder and Chairman, Gary Hirshberg enlightens listeners to the many hidden and harmful practices which occur in the farming of our foods. Farmers and food companies in the U.S. are continuing to get away with manufacturing and distributing genetically engineered foods. Words like “natural” on our food products can be misleading, and Gary Hirshberg hopes to educate consumers through his project, Just Label It! which he formed to empower others on the benefits of organic food by advocating for mandatory GMO labeling.
