More DescriptionAbsolutely everyone must eat. Every day each one of us makes decisions about what to eat and what not to eat. Food is the substance that gives us life. So when food is genetically modified, the very core of life changes, and indirectly, we change. Naturalists argue for a return to a simpler life free from the effects of genetically modified food. Global progressives feel scientific knowledge should be used to improve the food supply for the benefit of human life . The heated debate between opposing sides affects both governmental and corporate policies. Our very existence could hang in the balance. In Designer Food, Gregory E. Pence attempts to remove the conceptual rubbish on this newly forming topic. He sifts through the passionate beliefs that both global scientists and organic farmers choose. In searching for a common ground between the opposing views, Pence hopes to sort out the arguments and help create an informed source on this important new issue.
