Most alarming are advances in the area of genetically engineered foods. Scientists are rushing to discover the necessary ingredients to make superior animals, plants that can grow in rough terrain, and, as they claim, enough food to feed the world's ballooning population. Genetically modified foods are making their way onto the marketplace at an alarming rate. Consumers remain virtually unaware of the potential dangers of such practices. Manufacturers are pleased at the slashed prices and increased production, and of course, these advancements are made all in the name of science.
Genetic engineering disobeys the most basic rules of nature.
Animals of different species do not interrelate, thus, unnatural gene transfers do now occur. With new technology, it is not known what dangerous diseases could spread across species barriers. New toxins and allergens are being introduced to the food supply. Crops are being sprayed with pesticides, treated with hormones, and having foreign genes inserted in their genetic codes, in order to prevent the outbreak of viruses. These same chemicals then come into contact with our soil and run off into our water supply.
