...between the trendy Tapas Restaurant Dali and the upscale Wine and Cheese Cask, the 40 foot by 12 foot ice chest pays homage to 1950s trailer aesthetic. The white washed walls of this oversized freezer are colorfully decorated with various little snowmen clad in black top hats, red scarves, corn cob pipes and overflowing bags of ice.

Farmers pay a premium for Monsanto seeds, and to make sure they keep paying, the company requires them to sign an agreement promising not to plant seeds their crops produce.

Then, after patient cultivation to bring out the inserted trait, a prodigy is born. The transformed crop may be corn or cotton with a built-in insecticide, tomatoes that retain their fresh-picked texture on the shelf, or wheat with extra gluten, making for lighter, bouncier bread. The new crop of doctors has been so busy re-enacting the Creation in the past few years that Americans, at least, no longer...
