Are genetically modified foods safe to eat? -- Do genetically modified crops pose a danger to the environment? -- Are genetically modified foods necessary to feed the world's growing population? -- Is increased corporate control of the food system a dangerous idea?
Summary:
"On the surface, it seems that genetically modified (GM) foods are a reasonable defense against world hunger and malnutrition. They may offer solutions to other global problems as well. But critics argue that GM foods are unsafe and potentially hazardous to human health. They also claim that the engineering of GM foods harms the environment. So what is the truth? The curated essays in this volume present viewpoints from different sides of the debates surrounding GMs and a shrinking food supply"-- Provided by publisher.
