    Default GM foods not served in Monsanto cafeteria

    FYI:
    "The fight to ban genetically modified foods has won more converts — some employees of Monsanto the company that is doing the most to promote GM products.

    The Independent newspaper reports that there is a notice in the cafeteria of the Monsanto pharmaceutical factory is High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, advising customers “as far as practicable, GM soya and maize (has been removed) from all food products served in our restaurant. We have taken the steps to ensure that you, the customer, can feel confident in the food we serve.”

    The notice was posted by the Sutcliffe Catering Group.

    Monsanto confirms the authenticity of the notice, but company spokesman Tony Coombes says the only reason for the GM-free foods is because the company “believes in choice.” Coombes says in other Monsanto locations employees are happy to eat GM foods because they are “sprayed with fewer chemicals.”

    Adrian Bebb with Friends of the Earth says the notice in the Buckinghamshire plant is hard to misinterpret. “The public has made its concerns about GM ingredients very clear – now it appears that even Monsanto’s own catering firm has no confidence in this new technology.”"

    That's like that story about the head of a major cell phone company,
    his children never had mobile phones.
    Pretty telling.

    Or the high percentage of doctors and nurses not wanting the flu vaccine ... even when often forced upon them at some hospitals.

    I do like a good laugh......Monsanto confirms the authenticity of the notice, but company spokesman Tony Coombes says the only reason for the GM-free foods is because the company “believes in choice.”


    .....the trouble is, it's not funny!

    There is a remarkably exact copy of this article dated Nov. 2000.

    http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/1...ood991222.html

    It seems to me that they just recycle this old crap to their amusement. There was never any fight, it seems the decisions were already made, and the NWO war machine continues to trundle onwards.

    Moving forward ever so slowly telling us of their intentions along the way.

    Edit: also it seems that "The Independent" newspaper has never carried this article (this could be wrong as online archives are limited).

    How bizarre!!!

    That just happened with another Monsanto story about Monsanto getting kicked out of the UK only to have it retracted the next day due to an older story misdated!

    James Gilliland distributed the original then the retraction and I posted them in the "Up at the Ranch" thread.
