The GM foods you're eating.

Put down that fork and listen to this: Most Americans eat genetically modified (GM) food at every meal without even realizing it. Jeffrey M. Smith's eye-opening Seeds of Deception (Yes! Books, $17.95) exposes a trail of pressure from the biotech industry and governmental cover-ups that have put certain GM foods on the market today. Smith examines the internal documents of Food and Drug Administration scientists warning of the dangers of these experimental foods, and reports on how they were ignored. He reports on alleged threats, bribery and job termination that intimidated scientists into silence. The book charges that mainstream media also plays its part in promoting GM foods, through its underreported stories on the topic. Smith offers readers steps they can take to eat GM free (hint: be careful of the milk you drink and the vegetable oil you cook with) and urges consumers to think twice before placing those "safe" groceries in the shop ping cart.
