ANNOUNCEMENT 1 (Feb 3):

 

Vote Against Gentically Modified Beer/GM Natto

 

(from Akiko in Sweden, from International Green Forum Japan)

 

In Sweden, a small beer company has made an agreement with Monsanto

to launch a new beer, Kenth, produced with Monsanto's GM corn (Bt-

maize - MON810) from April 1 this year

with GMO labelling on. The beer company has gotten a guarantee from

Monsanto that if nobody is interested in this beer, the company will

be able to get out from this Monsanto's project.

 

This story remains me of the Monsanto's Roundup Ready soy Natto

project -

 

a small company is trying to sell Natto

(fermented soybeans) made of Monsanto's herbicide resistant soybeans

through internet - in Japan.

 

How about in your country?

 

Watch out, small companies are the target of Monsanto.

 

At the moment, a Swedish newspaper, Aftonbladet, is asking people to

vote whether you want to drink this GM beer or not. You can also go

to this site and vote:

Question: Vill du dricka genmanipulerad ï?

(Do you want to drink genetically manipulated beer?)

 

If you do NOT want it, press " Nej " , which means " No " .
