When it comes to food, it’s often hard to know what’s fact, fiction, or exaggeration. Join KBIA and Harvest Public Media for Digest This: a public discussion looking at the messages behind how our food is produced. Experts will examine the arguments -- and emotions -- that go into our food choices, and consider what’s at stake.
Friday, March 16, 4 p.m.

816 E. Broadway, Columbia, MO
Come early! Seats are limited and will fill up quickly.
