Frankenstein foods - CAC C
Created | Updated Mar 6, 2004
Correct labelling of foods is necessary to enable true consumer choice. However at present the media are representing genetically modified foods as "Frankenstein foods". This is unfair. Frankenstein's monster was not a GM product. He was (generically speaking) a Zombie. Fruit trees are the real Frankenstein foods, being made by the grafting together of the severed limbs of different plants.
So we still need a suitable name for GM foods. Dalek foods is more suitable, especially for tinned GM food or meals on wheels. This though is a bit too geeky to catch on. I suggest the branding of them as "Family Foods", thus indicating both that you are eating a protein derived from creatures you may have been related to, and also that a large international organisation is with these foods making an offer we can't refuse.
