INTRODUCTION

Imagine this...an orange that contains all the nutrients in a multivitamin, a tomato with more flavor as well as cancer fighting substances, sweeter strawberries, a potato that produces healthier french fries, allergen-free peanuts, a rice high in beta-carotene as well as bananas that deliver needed vaccines.

Is this science fiction or real science? It's real science and it is happening in laboratories today as genetically engineered foods.
