Biotechnology has changed the nature of food and its industry, quite literally. By taking the genetic material from one source and working it into the genome of another, producers are able to get a desired food item, such as a grossly enlarged ear of corn. This raises the alarming issue of introducing unnatural bacteria into human diets and the environment.
