Eat Your Genes describes the genetic engineering techniques used in
agriculture. It explores the food industry's commercial
motivations, why certain crop modifications have predominated, and
the importance of patenting to the genetic engineering enterprise.
This book explains how crop segregation and labelling are central
to the debate, and outlines the development of consumer resistance
to the marketing of GM food in Europe. The potential health and
ecological risks, the ethical issues, and the implications for both
industrialized and developing countries are examined. The author
argues that genetic engineering is still a long way from meeting
its promises of feeding the world's hungry and contributing to a
more eco-friendly agriculture. As the public debate over the
desirability of GM food continues, this is the book to help you
think through what is involved.
