Did you know that 60 percent of processed foods in your supermarket contain genetically engineered ingredients? Or that milk from cows treated with rBGH contains elevated levels of a hormone that has been linked to higher risk of colon, prostate, and breast cancers? Your Right To Know is a thorough and easy-to-understand guide to the very real dangers genetically engineered foods present to our health, the environment, and farm communities. Learn how to identify and avoid the foods in your supermarket that may contain GE ingredients and, conversely, learn about the GE-free and sustainable brands you should buy and where you can find them. The book contains an illustrated pull-out shopping guide to help you in your food buying. And if you're wondering what you can do to promote a GE-free food supply, you can learn about steps to take toward an organic and environmentally sustainable food future. Very worthwhile. --Georgia McIntosh
