PBS - harvest of fear: guess what's coming to dinner?


					Guess What's Coming to Dinner? (292k) (flash plugin required) HTML Version

Whether you think genetically modified food is a panacea or a Pandora's box, one thing is clear: Biotech companies and university laboratories are cooking up new ideas for GM foods all the time. The U.S. Department of Agriculture lists 7,516 field tests on new GM foods currently underway. It remains unclear which if any of these foods will pass the strict series of tests that stand between the laboratories and our supermarket shelves. Nevertheless, it's fun to sneak a peak into the future. Tuck in your napkin, pick up your fork -- well, your mouse, anyway -- and get a taste of the next wave of GM foods.
