Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. America's Experiment with Genetically Engineered FoodMost Americans eat genetically modified food on a daily basis, but few of us are aware we're eating something that has been altered. Meanwhile, consumers abroad refuse to buy our engineered crops; their groceries are labeled so that everyone knows if the contents have been modified. What's going on here? Why does the U.S. government treat engineered foods so differently from the rest of the world?Eating in the Dark tells the story of how these new foods quietly entered America's food supply. Kathleen Hart explores biotechnology's real potential to enhance nutrition and cut farmers' expenses. She also reveals the process by which American government agencies decided not to label genetically modified food, and not to require biotech companies to perform even basic safety tests on their products. Combining a balanced perspective with a sense of urgency, Eating in the Dark is a captivating and important story account of the science and politics propelling the genetic alteration of our food. An objective, authoritative study of the battle over genetically modified food discusses the impact of the biotechnology industry on modern-day food supply, the lack of research into the safety of such foods, the inadequacy of food labeling, and the need to provide rigorous testing of such foods and Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
