Eat Your Genes: How Genetically Modified Food is Entering Our Diet
Autor Stephen Nottinghamen Limba Engleză Paperback – apr 2003
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.

Recenzii
An authoritative account of the progress and potential of genetic manipulation.
Nottingham offers essential information for those concerned about genetically modified foods.
Refreshingly balanced treatment of genetic engineering of food products.
An excellent book for those who are interested in learning more about genetically modified food.
Full marks ...for as good an overview of the multiple problems that the new technology is spawning as one is likely to read all year.
A rivetting read.
An easy and enjoyable read while still retaining a high level of accuracy in explaining the different issues.
Readable and easy for a lay person to understand, a devastating indictment of genetic engineering. I warmly recommend Eat Your Genes.' Permaculture Magazine
