Scientists Sаy GE Foods are Safe, Public Doubts Remains [A] Genetically-engineered crops are as safe to eat as non-GE crops, they have no negative environmental impacts, and they have reduced the use of pesticides. That's according to a report released by the National Academy of Sciences today. The report admits that beyond safety, other issues need to be addressed, including earning the public's trust. It recommends a more transparent conversation about GE crops going forward. The report, two years in the making, is a 388-page look at every aspect of genetically engineered crops. [B] For those of you who want the report in a nutshell, here's a summary: •    GE crops are safe to eat. There are always questions about safety, of course, but there's no evidence of harm. •    The GE crops in our food system don't produce a larger harvest. However, because they have been introduced, farmers are better able to protect their harvests from insects and weeds.  •    Small-scale farmers may have trouble seeing economic gains because of the price of seed and lack of access to credit. •    Appropriate regulation is needed, and that regulation should be based on the characteristics of the crop, rather than the technique used to develop it, whether GE or non-GE.In paragraph B, what does the phrase in a nutshell mean?
