Another Horizons gem, tackling the controversial issue that is genetically modified food. I was duly reminded that we have in fact being modifying what we eat throughout the ages, in the process of selective propagation. At about 18 minutes into the programme, the presenter digs up the original carrot, which is hardly something you would want to put on your plate. When I consider that the carefully bred vegetables we eat would not survive in nature if we did not tend them, it becomes more difficult to define what is 'natural' and what is not.
