Hart, Kathleen

Examines the debate over the creation, distribution, and regulation of genetically engineered food, arguing that Americans are being used as guinea pigs for products that have not been thoroughly tested for possible long-term threats to consumer health and the environment, and that have been largely rejected by the public in Europe and Japan.

Argues that the Food and Drug Administration has allowed the biotechnology industry to inflict on unknowing Americans gene-altered food which may be a danger to their health.
