fruit, but what are we giving up in exchange?</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/should-we-fear-our-food?ecd=wnl_lbt_070208&spon=912345_0">Once upon a time, farms were pastoral places close to nature, and the
ability to obtain healthy, safe food was a given. In our high-tech agribusiness
world, though, the innocence of food is vanishing fast. Recent outbreaks of
food-borne illness have shown that simple plants like lettuce and spinach can
harbor deadly germs. And the use of antibiotics and hormones in animal products
also raises weird-science fears.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/should-we-fear-our-food?ecd=wnl_lbt_070208&spon=912345_0">"Consumers expect food to be safe," says Ted Labuza, Ph.D., a
professor of food science at the University of Minnesota. "But agriculture
has become a huge industry that makes heavy use of technology in order to be
more efficient, which can lead to unintended consequences." </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/should-we-fear-our-food?ecd=wnl_lbt_070208&spon=912345_0"><SPAN class="current_fmt">1</SPAN>
