Summary:
"An assessment of the hot-button debate about
GMOs
by a journalist who became convinced that genetically modified corn was causing family illnesses traces the evolution of ubiquitous modified products and how they are threatening human health,"--NoveList.
The biggest
food
fight of
our
time from a journalist and mother who was desperate for answers about
GMOs
. What exactly are
GMOs
? Can they really make us sick? Why is there so much controversy around them? After she was diagnosed with a sensitivity to genetically modified corn - and discovered that her toddler son was suffering from the same condition - Caitlin Shetterly set out to ask these questions. A disquieting and meditative window into
GMOs
and how they are modifying not only
our
food
and
our
landscape, but
our
entire ecosystem. From the corn and soy fields of Nebraska to a beekeeping convention in Belgium to research labs in California, shining a light on the farmers, scientists, politicians, activists, and corporations all wrestling over a most essential question: Are
GMOs
safe? This book will make you harvest deep seeds of doubt about the invisible monsters that come to us in the foods we feed ourselves and
our
families. A provocative conversation about genetic modification and the irreversible damage it may be causing.
