Your Right to Know: Genetic Engineering and the Secret Changes in Your Food
A comprehensive and unique reference guide to the health risks of genetically engineered and modified food, organic options, and how to fight the corporate agra-industrial takeover of the food we eat. This hardcover edition ships with a DVD of director Deborah Garcia's documentary The Future of Food.
More than half of America's processed grocery products- from corn flakes to granola bars to diet drinks- contain genetically altered ingredients. They are unlabeled, untested and we are eating it. Your Right to Know is a complete, full-color reference guide outlining how unmarked genetically modified foods get on to the family dining table and what consumers can do about it. This definitive and accessible guide is for concerned parents, as well as the entire consumer population, who want to know more about the potential health risks, the organic options and shopping choices, and the knowledge and methods available to counter the corporate takeover of the food we eat.

Learned much about our food being secretly gentically modified without our consent. It is mind boggling and disturbing to find out what we are really eating. It is like we are back to hunting and gathering food, except we are looking for real food instead of fake food this time around. I think the information in this book should be made availabe to everyone somehow. The only way we can stop the big food corporations is through knowledge, and "power to the people."

this book will make you want to be the creepy hippie who reads food labels and surrounds herself by plants.

Great book except if you are not ready to make drastic lifestyle changes. It refers you to great resources (both printed and online) and the layout is nice.

Everyone should read this. It is so scary what is happening to our food supply, the very thing that sustains us.
