There is a lot of information available on this issue, but most of what has been publicized has been coming from companies that stand to make huge profits from consumers who don't even know what they are being fed. Organic Sacramento is providing some links to information so that consumers can get better informed and make the decision as to whether or not they want these foods for themselves.

Jeffrey M. Smith, author of "Seeds of Deception", spoke about the broad range of evidence on genetically engineered foods, and how the industry is doing everything it can to see to it that only positive information is presented to the public, even though there are many reasons why this science should be watched very closely. Organic Sacramento has copies of his book for sale. If you would like one contact You can also find out more info at seedsofdeception.com.

Steven M. Druker, public interest attorney, filed a lawsuit against the FDA for not enforcing their own regulations on the genetic engineered food industry. While his lawsuit was dismissed on technicalities, it did result in the FDA being forced to release tens of thousands of documents that it had previously kept secret. These documents showed that the FDA management did not listen to the advice of its own scientists when it established its policy on genetically engineered foods. More information is available at the Alliance for Biointegrity web-site, of which Mr. Druker is the Director.

First Fruit: The Creation of the Flavr Savr Tomato and the Birth of Biotech Foods by Belinda Martineau. In a fast-paced narrative full of colorful characters, surprising twists and turns, and more than a few eye-opening revelations, former Calgene scientist Belinda Martineau chronicles the making of the Flavr Savr, from its conception to its ignominious disappearance. In the process she explains how genes are added to or, as in the case of the Flavr Savr, effectively switched off in plants through genetic engineering. She describes the experiments that not only convinced FDA regulators that the Flavr Savr tomato was "as safe as tomatoes bred by conventional means" but also paved the regulatory road for all the biotech foods that have followed. First Fruit also offers a revealing glimpse into how corporate decisions like whether to label genetically engineered products and how to "position" a "slow-to-rot" tomato as a vine-ripened, farm-stand-fresh consumer's dream are made in ag biotech start-ups.
