Three Important Questions:
1. Did you know that the US Government holds a patent on "Terminator Technology", developed by
Monsanto, that makes plants sterile after a single growing season?
2. Are you aware that the UN Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that three-fourths of
agricultural genetic diversity has been lost in the past century?
3. Did you realize that the Grocery Manufacturers of America estimate that 75% of all processed
foods contain Genetically Modified ingredients?
If fish tomatoes and human pigs are frightening concepts to you, if organic foods matter to you, if
you are concerned about the impact of toxic genes on human health, this book is a must read for
you. More than half of America's processed grocery products from cornflakes to granola bars; from
milk laden with growth hormones to diet drinks containing genetically altered ingredients. They are
unlabeled, untested ... and we Americans are unwittingly consuming it all. Your Right to Know:
Genetic Engineering and the Secret Changes in Your Food is a complete reference outlining how
unmarked, genetically modified foods find their way onto our dining tables impacting the food
supply, our health and our lives.
There are charts linking the men and
women of Monsanto/Searle to the halls of
power in Washington, where they, as
policy makers, control the outcome of such
tampering, including: John Ashcroft,
former US Attorney General, Margaret
Miller, of the FDA, Linda Fisher, of the
EPA, Michael Friedman, MD of the FDA,
Michael Taylor of the APHIS - Plant Health
Inspection Service, Anne Vaneman, of the
USDA, Clarence Thomas of the Supreme

2. Court, and Michael 'Mickey' Kantor
Secretary of Commerce. If that doesn't set your alarm bells off, you may also remember that when
Donald Rumsfeld was on the Board of Directors of the Chicago Tribune and CEO of Monsanto, he cut
a deal with soon to be President of these United States, Mr. Ronald Regan, the upshot of which was
that if elected with Rumsfeld's help, he was to remove the road blocks at the FDA to approve the
poison Aspartame for human consumption after more than ten years of rejection by that agency.

Turning a spot light on genetically engineered foods and the corporations who profit mightily from
them, this definitive book is for all concerned consumers, from parents to the general public who
need to know more about the inherent health risks involved. It also covers organic options and other
food choices available to us as well as ways through which we can fight corporate agribusiness and
the industrial takeover of the food supply which imperils us all.
