Reviews...plenty of food for thought about the need to take food policy control away from the corporate profiteers., "...plenty of food for thought about the need to take food policy control away from the corporate profiteers." -- Jim Hightower, author of If the Gods Had Meant Us to Vote They Would Have Given Us Candidates
Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisThe definitive book on the rise of biotechnology and genetic modification in the world's food supply, a growing topic of fierce international debate. Biotech companies are racing to alter the genetic building blocks of the world's food. In the United States, the primary venue for this quiet revolution, the acreage of genetically modified crops has soared from zero to 70 million acres since 1996. More than half of America's processed grocery products-from cornflakes to granola bars to diet drinks-contain gene-altered ingredients. But the U.S., unlike Europe and other democratic nations, does not require labeling of modified food. Dinner at the New Gene Café expertly lays out the battle lines of the impending collision between a powerful but unproved technology and a gathering resistance from people worried about the safety of genetic change.
