Guest guest Posted December 8, 1999 Report Share Posted December 8, 1999 Hey Bart, What's it like being vegan in Belgium? I hear that in places like Germany they put pork in everything, you know like you ask for a coffee and you get bacon bits. Okay, I'm exaggerating but I have the impression that it's more difficult over there. Check this out... Ottawa, June 16, 1999 -- The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and Health Canada are continuing to urge consumers not to purchase or eat certain Belgian food products. This follows two previous CFIA food safety alerts on certain suspect Belgian foods due to possible contamination with dioxins. New information from Belgium indicates that Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), as well as dioxins, may have contaminated these food products. The CFIA is prepared to seize suspect products if importers, retailers, restauranteurs, and food service operators do not comply with the Agency’s request to withdraw from sale and hold the products. In addition, certificates from Belgium verifying the safety of the products will not be accepted by the CFIA until such time as it can determine their validity. Health Canada advises Canadians that exposure to PCBs and dioxins may contribute to health concerns such as cancer and problems with fertility and reproduction. Initial information from Europe indicates that some Belgian products have a high level of contamination, well above levels found in Canadian foodstuffs, and these food products should be avoided. Sample Belgian food products are currently being analysed in laboratories across Canada. Until more information becomes available to confirm or clear suspect products, Health Canada and the CFIA are advising all consumers to avoid these products as a precautionary measure. The Belgian foods of concern are those that may contain pork or pork products, poultry or poultry products, beef or beef products, dairy products, or products that may contain eggs or egg components. Examples include cheese, milk chocolate, mayonnaise, cakes and pastries, breads, pasta, and ice cream. Consumers should check the ingredients on the product label. Consumers, importers, retailers, restauranteurs, and food service operators should set aside and hold any suspect Belgian products until the CFIA can advise further on their safety. Canada’s ban on the importation of Belgian pork and pork products, poultry and poultry products, beef and beef products, dairy products, eggs, and livestock feed remains in place. A CFIA official is in Europe to obtain the most current information. Updates will be provided as new information becomes available. A consumer information line has been established at 1-800-852-3766. ---- > >The trouble with being veg*n is...I often realize i'm just TOO cool, you > >know. Don't I know it. >McDonalds sucks because...they don't respect life Not that I condone violence or anything, I do think it's cool how Belgium activists are taking a stand against McD's. 5/14/99; Sint-Niklaas - The Belgium ALF made a come-back after months of silence and set fire to a McDonald's restaurant. The ALF immobilised security cameras and poured gasoline through the ventilation duct. The newspaper reports that a passerby noticed the fire and alarmed the fire department around 2 in the morning. It took them about a half hour to douse the fire after breaking in through a window to reach it. The damage was limited to the storage area and the refrigeration area, there was also general smoke damage. The initials ALF were spray painted on the walls. Claimed by Rode Haan (Red Rooster) And August 11 a McDonald's in Merksem went up in flames. Hopefully you guys will never have to endure having McDonald's at every intersection like we do. > >My plan to change the world is...currently under construction Please let us know when you come up with something! -- _____________ Free email services provided by http://www.goodkarmamail.com powered by OutBlaze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 8, 1999 Report Share Posted December 8, 1999 Hi, Anji! Being vegan in Belgium works out kinda nice! In every city, there's at at least 1 good health store...In Hasselt, my hometown, there are 3 good stores & in Ghent, where I study History, there's at least 2 of 'em. I was soooo surprised when I found out you heard about the ALF-assaults all the way up in Canada( that IS where you're from, right?). COOL!!! Well, about the dioxin crisis...the government knew about cancer inducing dioxins in meat & dairy products already in january '99, but they kept it a secret so the meat industry wouldn't suffer from any economical consequences...it was but in april/may that the news broke out, thanx to some clever reporters...This example shows again that goverments choose economical benefit above lives...animal lives as well as human lives!!! Experts said that in the follow-up to the crisis, 4000-5000 people will develop CANCER as a DIRECT REULT OF THE DIOXIN IN THEIR " FOOD " !!! Another example of the economical agenda of the goverment... If you hold one goose or duck in your backyard & you feed it extremely big quantities of corn, in order to eat it's fat liver (which is 8 times too big), you're punishable under the law of " animal welfare " . If you do exactly the same thing, but this time with 1000 animals & you get yourself a permission to do so (which is easily obtainable), then there's nothing wrong at all and they'll even congratulate you, because you're helping the country's economics....AN OUTRAGE, isn't it??? Well, that's it for now... Take care. BART > " anji b " <vegan > > >Re: Belgium >Wed, 08 Dec 1999 20:36:05 +0500 > >Hey Bart, > >What's it like being vegan in Belgium?
