Pollan writes, “genetic engineering overthrows the old rules governing the relationship of nature and culture in plants.” He argues in his essay that the “old rules”, or natural (organic) ways of farming are no longer being valued, but rather overthrown and replaced by this new technology. We get the impression that Pollan does not trust this genetically engineered food because it is completely unnatural.

There are numerous benefits to genetic culti

In the struggle for survival there is a delicate balance between nature and humanity crucial to all species. Monsanto and the rest of these companies are slowly shifting this balance in order to control nature. No one knows the effects of what is being done; yet it continues to occur. The dynamics of creation are being taken and converted into a motive of power in which everything revolves around money. Instead, unity should be created and the balance of existence should be protected.

vation as well as many farmers who agree with and practice this way of life. Biotechnology food produces its own insecticide, and its final product is better looking than that of organically grown food. Due to genetically modified food’s unique and unknown nature, however, there is potential for adverse health side effects. On page 467, Pollan writes:

Genetic engineering poses the greatest danger of any technology yet introduced. The damaging effects of genetic engineering are irreversible, but if it is stopped before it occurs then a catastrophe will have been prevented. Precautionary actions must be taken on the part of the consumers as well as the farmers to be protective of themselves and the generations to come. People must immediately reject genetically modified food, as it is been by nature, to prevent an avalanche of deviant foods from permeating the market and placing the world at risk.

I think that science shoul
