Your Right to Know

Excellent book. The issue of genetic enginering of our food WITHOUT OUR KNOWLEDGE is something everyone in the US should know about.

Your Right To Know

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. There are so many people who are completely clueless about the foods they're purchasing at the food chains these days. Times have changed from the way our food was back in the day. They where REAL. What disturbs me with the media is that they are continueously advertising for us to buy these products that we think are REAL FOODS. Could it be that they are not aware? Or is it all about the $$$?...

ABSOLUTE 'MUST READ'!

A good 'primer' on "Industrial greed, incompetence and criminal behavior". Very informative. A real 'eye-opener'.

you are what you eat

Andrew Kimbrell, editor of the famed Fatal Harvest, has come out with a new book, Your Right to Know: Genetic Engineering and the Secret Changes in Your Food. It is a very comprehensive guide as to how genetically engineered foods are impacting our everyday lives. As someone who cares about local agriculture and food safety issues, it is nice to finally see a book like this available for likeminded people who want to know...
