Over thirty essays are contributed by experts: How are genetically altered foods affecting daily lives, and are genetically changed materials becoming a part of our genetic makeup through digestion of these foods? Genetically Modified Foods explores the myriad of issues and argument arising from the use of genetically modified foods, offering chapters which cover their history, science, and health concerns. Over thirty essays are contributed by experts in science, law, religion and public policy, making a guide which is packed with important observations and facts.
Biased grouping of essays: Since this book has "debating" in the title you would think that it would provide a balance of both pro and con viewpoints on the subject of genetically modified foods. I did not find this to be the case. The majority of essays in this book are pro genetically modified foods. Also, several of the pro GMO authors have ties to companies with an economic stake in GMO foods, like Monsanto, that are not disclosed. This significantly damages these authors' credibility. I would not recommend this book if you are looking for a well-rounded exploration of this subject.
