We Will Starve but Not Take Poisonous Bt Brinjal.

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,As many of you have rightly observed the situation

is very serious. Probably for the first time we are seeing our popular

food being made extremely toxic and then being forcibly pushed down our

throats. The national coalition has called for a fast tomorrow which is

the World Food Day.

You can also fast at home. Please send the information that you are fasting tomorrow NAME:STATE:TOWN:To kavitha.kuruganti

PLEASE DO IT NOW. Take the decision and mail the information.Please circulate to your friends circle.RegardsJagannath.---------- Forwarded message ----------Kavitha Kuruganti <kavitha.kuruganti

Cc: jai krishna <greenjaiDear friends,As

you all know, without addressing any fundamental concerns with regard

to GM foods like Bt Brinjal, the Genetic Engineering Approval Committee

(GEAC) of India had yesterday cleared Bt Brinjal, the first ever GM

food crop in India and the first ever such GM vegetable in the world

with the Bt poison inside it, for 'environmental release' (a euphemism

being used for some reason for permission for commercial cultivation

since environmental release began years ago with open air trials!). It

is reported that the Government of India will now take a final decision

on this.

In protest against this approval by GEAC of this toxic, unneeded

brinjal, which will take away choices from farmers and consumers in

irreversible ways, we are putting out this call for a one-day Fast on

World Food Day, tomorrow, the 16th of October.

The message is simple: "WE WOULD RATHER FAST THAN EAT YOUR POISON".May

I request a large number of you to express your own stand against GM

foods and convey it to the government through this one-day fast

tomorrow. You can fast wherever you are but an ideal situation would be

if some of you can form a group and sit outside the office of any

concerned authority for a while at least, to convey your message.

Whether you are at home fasting or at your office, please make sure

that you let us know that you are doing this by sending a message to me

(kavitha.kuruganti) or Jaikrishna at (greenjai). Please circulate this widely so that we have hundreds of Indians registering themselves for this fast tomorrow.

Meanwhile, for those of you who are going to speak to a few of your

friends/colleagues/family members and would be enlisting more people

for this, kindly send me the entire list of people who are going to

fast in one mail rather than many. We will be putting up all the names

that come in on the web by tonight. Please issue press releases

wherever you want to, to highlight this initial response to the callous

attitude of the Indian regulators when it comes to sustainable

development for all of us.

Please mention the following details when you register yourself for this: NAME and CITY/TOWN.Thank you.Kavithaps: Also watch out for a mail on a more sustained battle on this issue being planned out.
