Description
The first, groundbreaking book, by Britain's foremost food commentator, Joanna Blythman, to tell you all you need to know about genetically modified food and how to avoid it - from bread to supermarket cook-chill suppers.
The development of GM foods is giving rise to the most important debate there has ever been over the way our food is produced. With thousands of GM foods in the pipeline, everyone needs to be aware of the implications and be able to make informed choices. In the first book to be published on GM foods, the country's leading expert on food issues, Joanna Blythman, gives much needed information and advice on gene foods and tells you everything you need to know to shop defensively. She gives a general strategy for identifying and avoiding gene foods when you shop and, after exhaustive original research, lists, brand by brand, gene products. This includes everything from baby foods to drinks to toothpaste and vitamin supplements.
