Bill to outlaw GE labeling in Oregon - hearing this Tuesday
HB 2957 states: "A state or local governmental unit may not impose a labeling requirement for a food product unless the governmental unit determines: (1) That the reason for the labeling requirement is recognized and endorsed by the federal Food and Drug Administration; (2) The labeling requirement provides health and nutritional information that will benefit consumers; and (3) The labeling requirement is the most cost-effective method of educating consumers regarding the subject of the requirement." In other words, until the FDA decides that GE foods are unsafe, the state cannot take any measures to tell its own citizens what's in their food.
There will be a public hearing on House Bill 2957 this Tuesday at 1:00 p.m. in the HR D Room at the Capitol in Salem. Please try to attend and voice your protest over this blatant attack on your consumer rights. If you can't attend, please write, call or email Jeff Kropf and let him know how you feel.

GM protest trio win their appeal
A LEADING environmentalist has won an appeal against a criminal conviction for his part in a GM crop protest. Mark Ballard, 31, the national secretary of the Scottish Green Party and a Scottish Parliament candidate, was fined £125 after a trial in 2001.
Direct action against GM crop trials
Three anti-GM activists had their convictions for pulling up GM crops quashed in the Court of Session in Edinburgh on Saturday. The crops, genetically modified oil seed rape, were pulled up as part of a protest at Boghall farm in Midlothian. The convictions were quashed four years to the day after the action.

Stop GE Lies
From the open publishing newswire: I know that the impending war is on a lot of people's minds right now, but it's important to not loose sight of other issues that are important - such as the dangers of Genetically Engineered foods. Monsanto recently got permission to market a new kind of pesticide rich corn, YieldGuard, and they will not stop putting these foods on the market until we stop them. One of the ways to do this, I think, is to take our complaints about the lies that are being spread (i.e., these foods are thoroughly tested, etc.) directly to the writers who are spreading them.
To help keep me up on GE food issues, I receive email updates from The Campaign To Label GE Foods. Often, these updates contain recent articles written about GE foods. After reading some of these articles, it is apparent to me that some "journalists" out there are obviously not interested in going after the facts, but writing fluff pieces about the biotechnology industry (surprise, surprise). As a journalist, I find this reprehensible. I think that we ought to hold these folks responsible for what they write and point out to them their lack of journalistic integrity (in a nice way, of course). It is possible that these writers do not realize their mistakes, or are succumbing to their editors pressure. Maybe they've become so used to censoring themselves that they don't even realize they are doing it. Perhaps if we point these errors in their research out, they will be compelled to offer the "other side" (anti-GE) of the story properly. Although the state that journalism is in right now is laughable, I do think that there are a lot of journalists out there that want to do a good job - they just need some guidance from time to time.
