SHEDDING LIGHT ON GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOOD: WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT THE FOOD YOU’RE EATING AND WHAT YOU CAN DO TO PROTECT YOURSELF

Book ID/图书代码： 07633010B37301

English Summary/英文概要： The evidence is clear and overwhelming: genetically engineered food is big business, a profitable product on the global market, and as a $6.15 billion industry in 2006, its growth and corporate power are undeniable. Despite the United States government and biotechnology industry’s assertion that genetically engineered food is harmless, Americans must question its safety. The truth is that genetically engineered food has never been tested for human consumption. When genetically engineered food was introduced in America more than a decade ago, it was promoted as a solution to some of the world’s food problems; however, the promised advantages have never been realized. Beth H. Harrison, PhD, explores why these crops do not benefit consumers, do not feed the world, do not help the environment, and are not rigorously regulated. Yet the government and the biotechnology industry expend questionable efforts to "educate" consumers, the media, and politicians with propaganda championing genetically engineered food as safe and necessary. Meanwhile, an unsuspecting public continues to be force-fed untested, unlabeled food that carries potential adverse health effects.Harrison provides a convincing argument as to why American consumers must question the collusion between their government and the biotechnology industry: their health-and yours-depends on it.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 转基因食品在全球市场大有赚头，效益不可估量，将会是新兴涌现的大产业。尽管美国政府和生态科技行业一再表示其无害性，可是它的安全性还是令人堪忧。事实上，转基因食品从未做过是否适合人体食用的实验。当初研发转基因食品是为了解决食物问题，并没有想到其经济效益。作者是站在对立面上探讨转基因食品对消费者、对世界、对环境的危害性及其正规性。同时，美国政府和生态科技行业则尽可能证明其安全无害及必需性。孰是孰非，由你定夺。(兼职翻译-XJJ)
