Synopsis
More than ten years ago, the first genetically modified foods took their place on the shelves of American supermarkets. But while American consumers remained blissfully unconcerned with the new products that suddenly filled their kitchens, Europeans were much more wary of these Frankenfoods.' When famine struck Africa in 2002, several nations refused shipments of genetically modified foods, fueling a controversy that put theissue on the world's political agenda for good. In Food Fray , esteemed molecular biologist Dr. Lisa H. Weasel brings readers into the center of this debate, capturing the real-life experiences of the scientists, farmers, policymakers and grassroots activists on the front lines. Here she combines solid scientific knowledge and a gripping narrative to tell the real story behind the headlines and the hype. Seminal and cutting-edge, Food Fray enlightens and informs and will allow readers to make up their own minds about one of the most important issues facing us today.

- o***c (4)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoUnfortunately never received what I ordered however it was not the seller’s fault. My part was shipped out very quickly but FedEx lost it in transit. The seller spent hours on the phone with them trying to get me what I ordered unfortunately it couldn’t be found. The seller kept in contact with me the entire time and ended up issuing me a full refund. He tried everything he could possibly do and I would definitely buy from him again in the future. Thank you for standing behind what you sellTORO 20692 Tecumseh TVS100 rear discharge chute door (N° 205001984975)
