Genetically Engineered Food: Changing the Nature of Nature

Picture a world where the french fries you eat are registered as a pesticide. Where corn plants kill monarch butterflies. Where multinational corporations own the life forms that farmers grow and legally control the farmers’ actions.

That world exists now. Genetically engineered foods are already present in many of the products you buy in supermarkets. The threat of these organisms to human and environmental health has caused them to be virtually banned in Europe, yet the U.S. government and a handful of biotech corporations have actively encouraged their use while discouraging labeling that might alert consumers to what they are eating. The authors show what the future holds and give you the information you need to preserve the independence and integrity of our food supply.
