EATING BIOTECH FOODS WITHOUT COMPLAINT
Johnson, Linda (2005) Americans eating biotech foods, but still clueless
The Associated Press and THE GAZETTE, 3/27, p. 5d.
On the whole, Americans know little about what they buy at the supermarket.
Today roughly 75% of U.S. processed foods-boxed cereals other grains products
frozen dinners cooking oils and more-contain some genetically modified
ingredients.
They do not know that food products be labeled as such, nor do they know
that they are tested for safety. Nearly 2/3rds do not know if they are
tested for environmental safety.
They may belief that raw meat (non-processed meats) has some chemicals
that are biotech, but they would be wrong.
To date, no one has officially died do to biotech.
