This book offers a general, evenhanded overview of the controversial subject of genetically engineered food. It begins with a discussion of the "Enviropig," a genetically modified breed of pig with "environmentally friendly" waste. The author then discusses history, production, and pros and cons of genetically engineered food. Short chapters are illustrated with photographs (some stiffly and awkwardly staged).
