Genetically Engineered Foods Archives

Frankenfood wins again. (Archive.)

Friends,

In MY opinion, it is too late to do anything about this because of cross-pollination from the genie already hyaving been let out of the bottle.

However, responding to this might still send a message to those who allowed this to happen and slow up the intriduction of more and more into our environment.

It could be that only one frankenfood will be the one that crashes the stable house of cards Mother Nature has constructed for us. Unfortunately there will be no way to know if it has already been invented for 30-40 years after it is out there. Perhaps we can still prevent that fatal genetic structure from being invented & released into the wild?

Organic Wheat Petition
Permission to cross-post, if you want.

The Campaign has launched the Save Organic Wheat coalition
http://www.saveorganicwheat.org and has created a petition calling
for a moratorium on genetically mutated wheat. Please consider
signing the petition http://www.saveorganicwheat.org/petition.php,
and joining the coalition. Joining is free, and helps send a
powerful message that U.S. and Canadian citizens do not want
genetically mutated wheat.

Save Organic Wheat mission & principles

Mission Statement:
"To build a coalition of organizations, businesses, farmers and
consumers in support of a moratorium on the introduction of
genetically engineered wheat in the United States and Canada."

Unifying Principles:
1. We support a moratorium because genetically engineered wheat will
contaminate organic and conventional wheat and jeopardize the
consumers' right to choose.

2. We support a moratorium because genetically engineered wheat may
create an economic hardship on wheat growers due to contamination and
loss of export markets.

3. We support a moratorium because genetically engineered wheat is
likely to create superweeds and be toxic to insects, birds, bees,
soil bacteria and have other negative environmental impacts.

4. We support a moratorium because genetically engineered wheat has
not been safety tested on humans and should be subject to the same
type of review process required for new drugs and food additives.

If you agree with the Mission Statement and Unifying Principles, we
invite you to join the Save Organic Wheat coalition:
