Farmers in Lithuania are pouring milk on the ground to protest low purchase prices because milk has fallen from 47 cents/liter to 27 cents/liter against farmers cost of 35 cents/liter. Across the world the primary stakeholder i.e. the farmer has always been at the receiving end !

Vicky Allan: Garden pesticides are linked to bird decline. Why aren't they banned?

Professor of Biology

sums it up succinctly: “There is now overwhelming evidence that #pesticides harm wildlife and the environment."

GMO fake meat company Impossible Foods' EU patent has been revoked. 🪠gmwatch.org/en/106-news/la

Amid the current hoopla surrounding their standing, there are other important issues we would like to reiterate.

When companies like Impossible Foods use words like “plant-based,” they’re trying to evoke images of healthy food. Don't be fooled. It is an ultra-processed GMO soy byproduct.

It contains 46 new proteins never before consumed in the human diet created with SynBio. We've heard from quite a few supporters who said the Impossible Burger made them sick. The safety study lasted only 28 days.

Impossible Foods should really be called Impossible Patents. It’s not food; it’s software, intellectual property — 14 patents, in fact, in each bite of Impossible Burger with over 100 additional patents pending for animal proxies from chicken to fish.

We avidly support plant-based eating, but lack of transparency in getting GE Impossible Burger in restaurants, stores and schools highlights a troubling deregulatory trend that prioritizes corporate profit over public health and safety.

Oh no, I hear you say, we want people to eat less meat and dairy. And we have a brilliant strategy: er, ask them nicely. In other words, you want to break the entire trend of modern history: as people get richer, they eat more meat. By handwaving. Good luck with that.
