re GMO's

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

Re GMO's, I don't want GMO's in my food. I wrote to Sanitarium, Uncle

Toby's

and Kellogs telling them they should label their breakfast cereals if

they are

GMO free. I buy breakfast cereals labeled GMO free (Meusli and another

one that is bran flakes and sultana).

I too worry about the " Longa life tomatoes " which had the fish genes put

into

them to prolong shelf life. In New Zealand, I believe they were putting

human

genes into cows to make cows milk less harmful to humans or to add some

attribute (the ethics? Does that now mean those cows are part human so

to eat them would make you a cannibal?).

 

I don't believe there are a lot of GMO veges in Australia yet. I

wouldn't know whether organic means no GMO in the vegetables but rather,

doesn't it refer to

non-use of pesticides and herbicides etc?

 

Kind regards,

 

Bunny

True that organics doesnt mean GMO free but less suspect... oregan is known for

organic farms so it's not an issue. I shop in healthfood stores mostly but they

also sell

OG in common stores. I am proud of you for writing those letters too. I have

written a

few letters over the years and it's always nice when your concerns are

acknowledged.

You are planting seeds.

I know that Australia has a terrible track record with cattle practices which

have

messed with the ecology of N Australia. I hadnt heard about genetics but guess

they're

competing with the States. Now the resistance is breaking down in the UK.

Hopefully

the Purity Food Act in places like Germany will be steadfast.

It is weird to me that they are combining plant and animal genes... The food

supply

continues to be tampered with in the name of science and having enough. In the

meantime, chemicals pollute our environment and our foods. David*
