Genetic Engineering
We find it mixed in our food on the shelves in the supermarket,
genetically engineered soybeans and maize. We find it growing in a plot
down the lane, test field release sites with genetically engineered
grape seed, sugar beet, wheat, potato, strawberries and more. There has
been no warning and no consultation.
It is variously known as genetic engineering, genetic modification or
genetic manipulation. All three terms mean the same thing, the

and gene instability? How do we

toxins and allergenic substances or increase the level of dormant
toxins and allergens? How about the nutritional value? And what are the
effects on the environment and on wild life? All these questions are
important questions yet they remain unanswered. Until we have an answer
