Monsanto wants to ‘educate’ us.

Monsanto steps up its campaign for acceptance of GM
Global biotechnology company Monsanto has begun an education and advocacy campaign to change the opposition many Australia consumers have to genetically modified food.

MADGE has prepared another ‘education’ campaign….educating us about Monsanto! Read on…..

- Australians need to be educated about Monsanto (see lists of crimes/upheld charges)
- We are asking for Monsanto's educative propaganda to be sent to MADGE so we can 'demystify' it (MADGE = Mothers are Demystifying Genetic Engineering).
- Monsanto (owns at least 23% of all world seed) has just purchased a 19.9% share of West Aussie grain development company Intergrain, with 2 intentions:
1. to put their patented GM traits in Australian wheat - they will own it
2. to purchase a larger share of Intergrain (they have guaranteed it)

GM wheat would need to be labelled which consumers would reject, and that is why Monsanto is moving to 'educate'. We and many other groups will put out a more comprehensive release on this WA and wheat issue.
