Description
In the last thirty years global demand for food has doubled. In a race to feed the planet, scientists have discovered how to manipulate DNA, the blueprint of life, and produce what they claim are stronger, more disease-resistant crops. However, fears that Genetically Modified Food may not be safe for humans or the environment has sparked violent protest. Are we participating in a dangerous global nutritional experiment? This informative film helps the viewer decide if the production of genetically modified food is a panacea for world hunger or a global poison. Includes A Short Film Courtesy of GNN.TV |

Amazing Video by purple8ball (NC,USA)  5 Stars
February 17, 2010
So glad I ordered this movie. I ordered this after watching Food, Inc. I want to share with everyone. It is totally amazing and mind blowing about our food industry here in the US. They do tend to talk a little fast about things as I kept rewinding some to understand the points they were making but overall it was a great movie!

Lost and Found - Awsome bonus features not mentioned by anyone! by eThos108 (USA) 5 Stars
November 30, 2009
This is one DVD I highly recommend. I've seen virtual every DVD available on the subject of major corporations genetically altering our food and I found that this film is one of the most informative and non-bias. But there's more. From what I can see of the other reviews, no one mentions the awesome bonus features on this DVD. As a bonus, the producers have included an important film from the Gorilla News Network called Contaminated. On its own merits the bonus feature alone makes this DVD well worth owning and sharing with family and friends, a fact that has been overlooked by the other people who left reviews. In addition I recommend two other films: Bad Seed: The Truth About Our Food. This film seems to be a sister film as the cover is similar but the content goes into additional information making both films complementary to each other. The other film I recommend deals with the animal or meat side of the Genetically Modified Food problem. The title is a little crazy but this 2 DVD set is called Frankenstein Science: Animal Transgenics. This DVD is loaded with bonus features as well as a well researched film and provides an important piece to the issue at hand. Once I saw these films, I realized I must now be more caraful about what I eat.

Real Information vs. TV News Soaps by Michael M. Jones (Sun Valley, Idaho) 5 Stars
May 19, 2009
Since our media and news reporting agencies have decided to do TV news soaps or fictional representations of real life, as a replacement for news, people are forced to get accurate information from other sorces. Productions such as, 'Genetically Modified Food: Panacea or Poison,' in my opinion, is a wonderfully accurate reporting documentary and, most likely, the only way people will be able to receive true information for the foreseeable future on subjects that have impact on peoples lives.

OK for introduction to GM foods, but not too interesting. by Dorothy Gale (Cincinnati)  3 Stars
March 24, 2008
If you are interested in learning moke about GM foods, this is an OK place to start. However, it is not presented in a very exciting way.

Not as good as "The Future of Food" by E. Karasik (Washington, DC United States)  4 Stars
May 25, 2007
While this film is reasonably informative and covers the usual topics of concern associated with GM foods, including genetic drift, loss of diversity, and privatization, it feels a little choppy and repetitive. A far better film called "The Future of Food" was made a year earlier; that film is more factual and succinct, and also paints a detailed portrait of the incestuous relationship between Monsanto and the Bush administration. It is also no longer available -- makes you wonder!
