Description
A Plot card that lets a player stir up public backlash against a target group's use of genetically modified food.
Conspiracy Narrative
'Frankenfood' is a real slang term, coined in a 1992 New York Times letter, used by critics of genetically modified crops to evoke Mary Shelley's Frankenstein -- a rhetorical shorthand for fears about tampering with nature that fueled real GMO-labeling debates through the 1990s and beyond.
