This book examines how genetic engineering is radically changing our food at great risk to human health and the environment. Why are scientists genetically altering foods? Are they safe? Why arent genetically engineered foods labelled as such? Author Ken Roseboro addresses these and other issues concerning genetically altered foods, and explains why organic foods are practical and safe alternatives to this risky technology.
