Frankenfood
Frankenfood (after
Mary Shelly's character,
Frankenstein) is a label of disapproval applied to
food products deemed to have been produced by unnatural—and by implication, obscene—means.
The term is applied to the use of genetically modified organisms in food production, a common practice in the
United States but widely rejected in parts of
Europe. "Frankenfood" has become a battle cry of the European side in the
US-EU agricultural trade war.
