This skillfully researched book focuses on how a small socio-political American elite seeks to establish its control over the very basis of human survival, the provision of our daily bread. Control the food and you control the people. This is no ordinary book about the perils of GMO. Engdahl takes the reader inside the corridors of power, into the backrooms of the science labs, behind closed doors in the corporate boardrooms. The author reveals a World of profit-driven political intrigue, government corruption and coercion, where genetic manipulation and the patenting of life forms are used to gain worldwide control over food production. The book is an eye-opener, a must-read for all those committed to the causes of social justice and World peace.

(page 6) 2) SMALLER SIZE IF THOSE WHO EAT GMOs: In a study in which rats... more info
Informative:
I found this book to be very informative on a topic - Agribusiness - that most people ignore. It appears to be well researched and assembled from start to finish regarding the Multinational Corporations cornering of the global GMO market and insulating themselves from the eventual resistance from consumers....as Kissinger stated, if you control the food - you control the people.
Frankenfoods -- it's worse than you think:
This book seems at first glance to be primarily about genetically modified organisms (GMO), but is actually a frightening history of the power elite's largely successful attempt to gain control over food and food production. In the last 50 years food has gone from being an agricultural product grown by small farmers, to being a national security concern, to now being a weaponized commodity under the control of a few corporate owners. Mr. Engdahl lays out his case in a methodical, scholarly, yet... more info
