Genetically modified crops, done so for the purpose of increasing overall yield, resistance to pests, and other reasons. Been around for awhile, yet nobody has grown an extra head or suffered cancers associated with it.
Frankenfood is a scare term used by European agricultural interests trying to take trade share from US growers; and also used by ignorant folks using it as a lame excuse for yet more yankbashing.
