As emphasized in David Horsey's genetically modified-themed cartoon, genetically modified organisms are not completely ensured as to be safe; since, they are yet to be tested for their potential consequences. In the cartoon, a consumer labeled as"USA", distinguishing American consumers, is unaware of the possible negative outcomes of GMOs; however, he is experimenting with them anyways, posing as a guinea pig like figure. Whilst the scientist, labeled as the FDA (Food Department Agency), acts as though this trial is a lab experiment. What is ironic in this piece is the reality of this piece, interpreting as a visual illustration of how the American, perhaps even global, genetically modified industry works.
