1. 1

    Frankenfood is a nickname for food from genetically modified plants (and sometimes animals). People who use it want you to feel that science has built something , even a bit monstrous — not a neutral lab term. You meet it in opinion pieces, protests, and casual talk among people who distrust GM crops; food scientists and many companies avoid it because it already judges the thing it names. It is informal, , and usually uncountable in spirit (“this is frankenfood”) though you will see a frankenfood for a particular product. The joke in the name is Frankenstein: humans stitch life together and then cannot control what they made. Using the word tells people which side you are on.
