want to eat genetically engineered (GE) food… …then you will want to stop the US from using the WTO as a weapon to force-feed the world GE food. We have a right to know what we are eating and to say no to GE food. But from field to fork‚ the food we eat and the seeds we plant in our fields are being targeted by the GE industry.

Genetic engineering (GE) is a recently developed technology that allows the alteration of the genetic make up of living organisms. This technology allows scientists not only to exchange genes from members of the same species‚ which is what farmers and nature has been doing through out history‚ but also the exchange of genes between completely separate species. For example genetic engendering allows scientists to insert the genes from a fish into a tomato‚ something that can never happen in nature
