Where multinational corporations own the life forms that farmers grow and legally control the farmers' actions.<P>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.<P>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.
