AUSTRALIAN GE FOOD LABELLING PETITION

On March 11 a new documentary (The World According to Monsanto) was aired on French television - The gigantic bio-tech corporation Monsanto is threatening to destroy the agricultural biodiversity which has served mankind for thousands of years.

Present in 46 countries, Monsanto is the world leader in genetically modified crops, as well as one of the most controversial companies in industrial history. Since its foundation in 1901, the firm has faced trial after trial because of the toxicity of its products. 

Today it has reinvented itself as a "life sciences" company which has been converted to the virtues of sustainable development. LMAO!

Using hitherto unpublished documents and the testimonies of victims, scientists and politicians, "The World According to Monsanto" pieces together the origins of an industrial empire, built upon lies, collusion with the American government, pressure and attempted corruption. 

We all have a right to know what we are eating, but under our current laws most GE ingredients are exempt from labelling. Last Friday it was announced that an independent review into food labelling will be undertaken. This creates an opportunity for our lax labelling laws to be changed. .

Alarmingly, the government is only allowing four weeks for public submissions.

If you’re sick of eating in the dark, show the reviewers that Australians want labelling to cover all GE derived ingredients. Make a personal submission to the review NOW, HERE

PLEASE pass this petition around to friends & family if you consider it important, we dont have much time left.

If you haven't seen the movie, start HERE nothing like some reality to scare the pants off us occasionally!

Take care of you and yours.....and the planet:)
