"Laboratories around the world are experiencing a "bioexplosion", as they busily sequence, identify and switch genes among different species. In Killer Foods, Dr Michal Fox addresses the potential ramifications of the burst of technology. from the creation of herbicide-resistant soybeans to the splicing of human genes into pigs and goats, new developments in biotechnology pose serious questions: How has genetic engineering put animals' health at risk? What are the economic and biological consquences of a genetically altered future? Will this new technology mean the end of natural evolution? ... Fox presents a full picture of the science industry for public view. Supported with documented research throughout and including a helpful resource list of organizations concerned with biotechnology." - back cover.
