GENETICALLY MODIFIED (GM) FOOD HERE NOW, MORE SOON!

                             A PUBLIC SEMINAR

                     Saturday 2nd February, 2 – 5 pm
                           Katoomba Youth Hostel
                     207 Katoomba St, Katoomba, NSW

If you care about what you and those dear to you eat, then come to this seminar.
Find out what has happened and what can be done.

Seminar includes:

• A wealth of information
• Multiple local speakers
• Workshop session
• Video of the internationally recognised Australian epidemiologist,
Dr Judy Carman, giving what is regarded as one of the best talks on
the risks posed by GM crops and foods.

In late 2007 the NSW and Victorian state governments announced that
they would end their moratoria on the commercial growing of
genetically modified (GM) canola. GM Canola is an inadequately tested
new entrant to the food supply, with its medium to long term effects
on animal and human health remaining largely unknown, though what is
known is not good. However, as GM Canola is the first mainstream GM
food crop for Australia, it also represents the foot in the door for
the biotech companies and governments to introduce other inadequately
tested GM crops. There is extremely well documented scientific
evidence that many of these GM crops pose significant risks to animal
and human health, and the environment.

Organised by The Blue Mountains Food Co-op Working Group for a GM-Free Future


Cheers, Andrew
