Food Traditional

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) – Following two summers of limited programming due to COVID-19, traditional in-person entertainment has now returned to the Memorial Union Terrace, the venue announced Wednesday.

Free concerts, film showings, outdoor events, recreation equipment rentals and art events will return this summer. New activities, including a Terrace Art Cart, which will offer DYI art kits for purchase, will also be featured.

Tomorrow, the UK government will begin the passage of a bill to allow gene-edited products to be treated differently to genetically modified organisms (GMOs), with environment minister George Eustice saying food from gene-edited crops could be in shops next year. The technology is billed as a way to improve health – such as a
