"When I'm asked about these novel foods - as I am with increasing frequency - my first response comes from my background as a biologist. It's clear to me that a handful of chemical corporations have rushed gene-altered foods into our fields and supermarkets without conducting the science needed to demonstrate the safety of these foods for our children, the environments, and us. In fact, independent studies coming in from universities and government agencies both here and abroad, demonstrate the hazards that these biotech foods can present to our health and to the natural world." © 2007 Andrew Kimbrell, Your Right to Know: Genetic Engineering and the Secret Changes in Your Food, Reprinted by permission.
