I haven't bought any Indian rice since the 90s when I used to belong to a newsgroup where there were reports of Southwire having ground up its Cadmium waste (hazardous), put it into fertilizer and sold it in that fertilizer to India for its rice farmers. Gingrich was involved with Southwire. I recently read a story or heard on the news that at one point Indian farmers crops failed so badly that 1500 or so of the farmers committed suicide. Here's a link about the hazardous waste, Southwire, and fertilizer... http://www.multinationalmonitor.org/...mm0395_07.html

My thought for the day: If the USDA gives fast-track approval to Bayer for this rice, then doesn't that mean that any biotech company that wants to get a product approved by the USDA would only have to let their product loose in all the other crops, the way Bayer's crop got loose, and then the USDA would grant its approval? Yuck!!!
Oh, someone asked about US regulations for organic food and GMOs. GMOs are *not* allowed in any organic food in the US. -Valerie |

it seems to me that with GMOs allowed everywhere in the USA and the oganic cert assoc not testing for DNA there is a high probablility any US organic produce could contain GMOs so I will be very careful that anythng I buy is not from the USA or any country that generally allows GMOs ....... one thing is here all Organic products are labelled with country of origin so far GMOs are not mainstream in australia ( apart from cotton ) just a few trials and the battle goes on to stop their introduction if it happens I will only be eating home grown produce from our own saved seeds ....... I would rarther die of starvation than of being poisoned for greed koz |

I went on to Lundberg's website as that is the only brand of rice I buy and here is their statement- http://www.lundberg.com/press/LFFResponseStatement.pdf
I feel happy that I can continue to buy their products without worry. Shiloh p.s. had to register all over again so now I'm a newbie! |
