About this product
Product Information
Most Americans eat genetically modified food on a daily basis, but few of us are aware we're eating something that has been altered. Meanwhile, consumers abroad refuse to buy our engineered crops; their groceries are labeled so that everyone knows if the contents have been modified. What's going on here? Why does the U.S. government treat engineered foods so differently from the rest of the world? Eating in the Dark tells the story of how these new foods quietly entered America's food supply. Kathleen Hart explores biotechnology's real potential to enhance nutrition and cut farmers' expenses. She also reveals the process by which American government agencies decided not to label genetically modified food, and not to require biotech companies to perform even basic safety tests on their products. Combining a balanced perspective with a sense of urgency, Eating in the Dark is a captivating and important story account of the science and politics propelling the genetic alteration of our food.

Did receive auction item as described, at original cost. Initially an error was made in shipping, but that was resolved in reasonable time, at no additional cost to me, and with great communication. Seller was fair and very apologetic, made it right without any need for me to request that. Have purchased from seller again already, and that went well also. Good person, great experiences.

Seller was very communicative and kind. She messaged about when the book was going to ship and it did in fact ship that day. Packaged securely as well, and book was just as it was described.
