One of the WA GM Free Network members posed these questions to recently pregnant WA Minister for the Environment and Youth Affairs, Donna Faragher. She asked
1. Please refer me to the studies of GM food trialled during pregnancy
2. Please advise how to avoid eating GM foods during pregnancy and breastfeeding
Her questions were first referred to Terry Redman, and then, at her request, to the Minister for Health (and Deputy Premier) Dr Kim Hames who suggested she refer to Greenpeace’s True Food Guide.
Now there’s an endorsement... but should we really be relying on information provided by an NGO because our Federal Government has failed us regarding GM labelling?
All the more reason to insist on transparent GM labelling as FSANZ is clearly not doing its job.
As for Minister Faragher, she has so far failed to directly respond to the queries.
wow what a story! of course its not good enough that consumers have to rely on Greenpeace to tell them whats in their food.. this letter should go public!
