BSE increases worries about gene foods

Futurist Keynote - Articles and Videos - Biotechnology, Genetics, Gene Therapy, Stem Cells

Recent participation on BBC's the Food Programme and BBC World Service TV has convinced me that public concern is growing over new biotech foods, in the light of the recent BSE crisis. There is a definite swing back towards foods produced in conventional ways. In the meantime, there is a steady trickle of genetically modified food entering the human food chain, ranging from artificial chymosin in cheese, to GM tomato paste and now maize products. By the year 2000, it may be hard to buy food products which do not contain these new ingredients.
