The book that will change the Public Debate on GM

DON'T WORRY [IT'S SAFE TO EAT]
THE TRUE STORY OF GM FOOD, BSE AND FOOT AND MOUTH
Author: Andrew Rowell
http://www.earthscan.co.uk/asp/bookdetails.asp?key=3981

'Don't worry - it's safe to eat' is a familiar phrase said by politicians and scientists to placate consumers, first on BSE and now on 
genetically modified (GM) food.

Investigative journalist Andrew Rowell's new book exposes the hidden links between scientists, corporations and the government that have 
warped policy on three potent issues: genetic engineering, BSE and Foot and Mouth disease.

This timely publication - coming in the middle of the public debate on GM - raises serious concerns about GM. As Britain decides whether to 
become a GM Nation or go GM Free, the book exposes the myth of the GM revolution and asks searching questions about the safety of GM food. 
It details how the regulations on GM that are meant to protect us are inadequate and flawed.

Rowell tells the story of BSE - how the epidemic is continuing and how critical scientists were silenced during the crisis. The same 
happened with the Foot and Mouth crisis, leading scientists were marginalized while millions of animals were needlessly slaughtered.

In the last chapter Rowell offers radical solutions to provide safe food and 
science that works in the public interest.

REVIEWS

'An essential read for those who wish to break the chains of corporate control of the food chain. All you need to know to be effective in 
resisting the might of the global argi-business machine'
Tony Juniper, Director, Friends of the Earth

'A gripping account of the human drama, scientific controversy and commercial 
politics that surround the biotechnology revolution'
Dr Tim Lang, Professor of Food Policy, City University, London

'A brilliant exposé of the dangerously cosy relations between the regulators and the regulated. Rowell emphatically demonstrates that the 
man in the official white coat is no longer on our side. Read this book and act!'
Zac Goldsmith, The Ecologist
