The debate is now so massive that it's hard to imagine a time when GM crops weren't controversial. What might have contributed to that change? Roland Pease The tone really changed in this country at least when one of the British newspapers, the Daily Mail, used the word "frankenfood" - this was playing on the idea of Frankenstein's monster. The stories that were being talked about then about potential drawbacks on human health, on the environment and so on, were well-known to an awful lot of people before, you know, we had been reporting those stories, but this word "frankenfood" suddenly caught the public imagination and did change the debate an awful lot. VOCABULARY “frankenfood” - umělé, nepřirozené (zrůdné) potraviny drawbacks - stinná stránka, neblahý vliv environment - životní prostředí caught the public imagination - zaujmout, upoutat pozornost veřejnosti
