I did a similar “controversial issue” video series on gluten. See:
• Is Gluten Sensitivity Real? (http://www.nutritionfacts.org/video/is-gluten-sensitivity-real)

For those interested in the genetic engineering of livestock, I published a few papers myself on the topic:
• Centre for Agriculture and Biosciences (CAB) Reviews 6(41):1-6 (http://www.drgreger.org/Greger_2011_CAB.pdf).
• Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics 24(5):451-472 (http://www.springerlink.com/content/p811p18540937037/?p=56600355cd164d5590ad163e1ae6430b&pi=1).
• Journal of Animal Science 88(2):811-4 (http://www.journalofanimalscience.org/content/88/2/811.full).
