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. 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. Genetically Engineered Food: Changing the Nature of Nature is the first book to take a comprehensive look at the ramifications of this dangerous science. The authors show what the future holds and give you the information you need to preserve the independence and integrity of our food supply.

Seller's Description:
Very Good. Size: 103x3x144; The Book is in Very Good+ condition. Genetically Engineered Food: Changing the Nature of Nature is the first book to take a comprehensive look at the many ramifications of this dangerous science. Authors Martin Teitel and Kimberly Wilson explain what genetic engineering is and how it works, then explore the health risks involved with eating newly created lifeforms. They address the ecological catastrophe that could result from these modified plants crossing with wild species and escaping human control altogether, as well as the economic devastation that may befall small farmers who find themselves at the mercy of megacorporations for their livelihood. Taking the discussion a step further, they consider the ethical and spiritual implications of this radical change in our relationship to the natural world, showing what the future holds and giving you the information you need to act on your own or to join others in preserving the independence and integrity of our food supply.
