- Summary:
- Food battles are conducted in the mystifying language of genetics between a handful of corporate "life science" giants like Monsanto, and a worldwide network of anti-corporate, eco-warriors like Greenpeace. Pringle shows how both sides in this war have made false promises, and engaged in propaganda science, and scare mongering.
