Here is why the Canadian govt. is getting away with GM foods. Most all = farm organizations, even organic organizations, rely heavily on = government for recognition, public awareness, trade missions, testing, = marketing, grants, subsidies, etc. To oppose the government then, is to = threaten one's own financial life. For this reason, farm organizations = have special persons designated as government liaison people - to keep = the money coming.
So in Canada, when the Conservative government defeated a private = members' bill to require GMO labels on imported foods, not one organic = producers association objected. Not one. And one provincial organic = producer organization (which relies heavily on federal program support) = is headed by the campaign manager for a sitting rural MP (who voted with = his government). One Ontario Indian band was told by the Canadian = government, it would lose all their grant money if it allowed a debate = on vaccines to proceed. The band dutifully cancelled the debate. It can = be no different in the U.S. Get the picture? Leo -------------------------------------------------------------------------= -------
