COVER STORY
FOOD FIGHT: GENETIC ENGINEERING VS. ORGANICS - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
How tens of millions of consumers spend their money is akin to casting a vote between competing and ascending forms of agriculture: genetically modified foods versus organics. Both expanding industries say their techniques are the best and most sensible way to feed the world's growing population. Both maintain they're sustainable forms of agriculture and lighter on the environment than conventional better-living-through-chemistry agribusiness.
