The White House announced today that it plans to begin serving some genetically
modified foods at official government functions. The move is intended to head
off criticism by environmental and consumer groups that the altered foods are
unsafe. 

"You really can't tell the difference," said White House chef Daniel Arreido,
the former executive chef at Laylo in Austin, Texas, who recently replaced
long-time Clinton cook Walter Scheib III. "It may be genetically altered but it
tastes just the same," said Arreido, noting that the first family already
consumes milk containing bovine growth hormone. 

The White House plans to debut the new food items at a state dinner next month
for French Prime Minister Lionel Jospin. According to Arreido, the menu for the
dinner will include such delicacies as pan-seared genetically altered super
salmon and Texas-style corn pudding made with Star Link corn. "These are
traditional Texas recipes," said Arreido, "but with a special twist."
