Unnatural Harvest by Ingeborg Boyens, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Unnatural Harvest: How Corporate Science is Secretly Altering Our Food is about so-called "Frankenfoods." Ingeborg Boyens, an award-winning CBC journalist, studies the secret scientific revolution is going on in the food industry behind the consumer`s back. Powerful bio-tech companies are creating genetically engineered foods, in which the DNA of one species - for example, a flounder - has been spliced into DNA of a completely different species - a tomato, for instance - to create more durable products. Boyens warns of the potentially disastrous environmental and evolutionary consequences of this widely accepted practice whose long-term effects have never been assessed. | Unnatural Harvest by Ingeborg Boyens, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
