About this ebook
“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” – Albert Einstein
This ebook points out the surrounding issues of genetically modified fruit and vegetables that consumers are unaware of. While several parties defend the use of technology to create food, there seems to be little being done to increase awareness about this matter to the end consumer.
It also points out alternative food sustainability options such as organic farming and land management. This ebook will indicate that although some parties agree that genetically modified food items are cost effective and considered safe, its long-term results have not been adequately researched and the use of pesticides on these items are far higher than for other types farming or food products.

1.1 INTRODUCTION
In an age of no social media and lack of transparency, more than 20 million gallons of herbicide were sprayed throughout South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia between 1962 and 1971. The target? Guerrillas who would be forced to come out in the open instead of hiding in the jungle. The objective? To
