Meanwhile, consumers abroad refuse to buy our engineered crops; their groceries are labeled so that everyone knows if the contents have been modified. What’s going on here? Why does the U.S. government treat engineered foods so differently from the rest of the world?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEating in the Dark\u003c\/b\u003e tells the story of how these new foods quietly entered America’s food supply. Kathleen Hart explores biotechnology’s real potential to enhance nutrition and cut farmers’ expenses. She also reveals the process by which American government agencies decided not to label genetically modified food, and not to require biotech companies to perform even basic safety tests on their products. Combining a balanced perspective with a sense of urgency, \u003cb\u003eEating in the Dark\u003c\/b\u003e is a captivating and important story account of the science and politics propelling the genetic alteration of our food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eKathleen Hart is a journalist who has been writing about health and the environment for more than sixteen years.
