06/17/2001 Entry: "Save brown rice (from Genetic Engineering)"

Save brown rice (from Genetic Engineering), NOW!

Though the focus of the biotech industry will be on the fields of the non-organic crops, it is quite likely that the organic crops will become contaminated by this scourge.
As many of you know, genetically engineered (GE) rice, wheat, barley and corn are about to descend upon the fields, farms and ultimately on the marketplace.
So it is important that we join together and act by letting "the president, Congress, USDA, FDA, EPA, agricultural officials in California, Texas, and other farming states, food manufacturers, the UN, WHO and other bodies" know that we oppose genetic engineering of our foods, and support mandatory labeling of all GE foods, etc. by signing and circulating the

"Save Organic Rice Petition" ( http://www.cybermacro.com/amberwave.html).

Looking at this petition, on-line, we see the name "Amberwaves".

"Amberwaves" ("with branches from sea to shining sea") is a division of Planetary Health, Inc., a nonprofit educational organization and also the name of a new magazine (to be published quarterly).

In the current (Premier) issue of "Amberwaves", a complimentary copy of the book "Saving Organic Rice" featuring:

a forward by Michael Potter (president of Eden Foods, organic pioneer, and leader in GE food testing and labeling),

and articles by:

Edward Esko (an international lecturer on diet and heath and author of "Healing Planet Earth"),

Alex Jack (co-author of "The Cancer-Prevention Diet", author of "Imagine a World Without Monarch Butterflies", and faculty member of the Kushi Institute),

Dr. Vandana Shiva (an Indian scientist, Third World activist, and author of "Stolen Harvest"),

Drs. Amory and Hunter Lovins (directors of the Rocky Mountain Institute and social planners),

Dr. Mae-Wann Ho (a British geneticist, founder of the Institute of Science in Society, and author of "Genetic Engineering:Dream or Nightmare?"),

and Paul Hawken (social critic and author of "Growing a Business")

and including a "Consumer's Guide to GE Rice, Wheat and other Grains, the Enzymes in Bread" and a List of GE-Free Products,

is offered, as well as a subscription to the "Amberwaves" magazine with each tax-deductable donation to save naturaL rice

(increments of $10, $20, $35, $100, $200, and Other, are suggested [make checks or money orders {foreign orders, please pay in U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. Bank} payable to "Amberwaves"]

or print your _Visa _MC #Expiration Date).

Persons can also make a monthly pledge (increments of $10, $20, $35, $100, and $200 are suggested) and designate the funds be used for:

_Public Education,

_New books and literature,

_Website development,

_Educate food companies, restaurants, and sushi bars,

_Educate children, teachers, parents,and libraries,

_Set up West Coast office,

and
