Frankenfood

Frankenfood (after Mary Shelly's character, Frankenstein) is a label of disapproval applied to food products one deems to have been produced by unnatural—and by implication, obscene—means. As of early 2003, the term is most frequently applied to the use of genetically modified organisms in food production, already a common practice in the United States but widely rejected in the rest of the world.

Frankenfood has become a battle cry[?] of the European side in the US-EU agricultural trade war.
