Looking for the newest dining trend in Hollywood? It seems like Gen
Mod cafe at the corner of Las Palmas and Hollywood Blvd. is serving
up the wave of the future, with its wait staff decked out in lab
coats and the plates and cups strangely resembling petri dishes and
test tubes. During the course of the meal, it may come to your
attention that everything served at Gen Mod contains ingredients made
from genetically modified plants. This may make you want to run
screaming – until you realize that rather than being some bad
science fiction nightmare, Gen Mod is just fessing up to what almost
every other restaurant and grocery store in town is already selling
you. Just about every food you can think of that has corn or soybeans
in it is made from genetically modified organisms. No long-term
testing has been done on possible adverse effects of GMOs, but they
have been introduced into human diets all the same. Biotech companies
are using humans as research subjects without their consent. Gen Mod
tempts diners with delicious cuisine and trendy atmosphere, but begs
the question of whether we all want to be part of this continuing
unregulated research or not. Gen Mod is at 1638 N. Las Palmas Ave.
(in the gallery at Les Deux Cafe) and will be open from 5 till 11PM
on Friday May 24, 2002.
