A word about genetically-modified foods
The issue of genetically-modified (also referred to as
"altered," "engineered" or
"biotech") food is a real hot potato! Critics,
believe that the latest GM technology -- insertion of an
unproven interspecies gene into the DNA of crops -- is a
high-risk experiment, which leaves both consumers and the
environment vulnerable to new strains of bacteria and viruses.
Many groups are calling for mandatory labeling and a
moratorium on the introduction of any new genetically-modified
crops. Currently, it's difficult to tell if any items in your
grocery basket have been altered. Many companies are adding
the "no GMO" to their labels. For more
