What exactly are GMO's? Can they really make us sick? Why is there so much controversy around them? <i>Modified</i> delves deep into the heart of the matter, from corn and soy fields that blanket Nebraska to a beekeeping convention in Belgium to research labs in California, and shines a light on the farmers, scientists, politicians, activists, and corporations all wrestling over a most essential question: Are Gmo's safe? This is a rare breed of book that will make you nostalgic for the majestic beauty that America's Great Plains once held, while at the same time forcing you to harvest deep seeds of doubt about the invisible monsters that come to us in the foods we feed ourselves and our families.
