Can Botulism be prevented?
Although there are very few cases of botulism poisoning each year, prevention is extremely important. According to the CDC, foodborne botulism has often been linked to home-canned foods with a low acid content. These foods include asparagus, green beans, beets, and corn. People have also become infected from other sources including chopped garlic in oil, chili peppers, tomatoes, improperly handled baked potatoes cooked in aluminum foil, and home-canned or fermented fish (such as sardines). Persons who can their own food should follow strict canning procedures to reduce contamination of foods. Honey should not be given to children younger than 12 months of age, as it can contain spores of C. Botulism and is known to cause infant botulism.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of frankenfood?
Modifying food crops through genetic methods results in products with remarkable advantages like longer shelf life and resistance to pests when they are grown in the field. The primary motive for genetically engineering food crops is to increase yield. Since this process involves the insertion of foreign genes into wild type crop genomes, the uninformed people in the press have coined the term 'frankenfoods' to describe genetically modified crops. Here are some of the advantages of genetically modified foods: * Greater yield (wheat, rice, tobacco) * Pest resistance (corn) * Longer shelf life (vegetables) * slow ripening of fruits (apples, oranges) * Foods supplemented with essential dietary components - beta carotene rice (golden rice) * Better taste retention (flavr-saver tomatos) and some of the disadvantages: * public acceptance - people approach these genetically engineered foods with a lot of scepticism.
