I NEVER touch soy anything. GMO is not my idea of food.

++++++++++++++++++++++++

Do you know if that goes for organic soy too? That isn’t GMO, is it?

The way to feed alot of people is not thru GMO's....and we certainly

don't need pharmaceuticals laced in with veggies.... I've yet to see

anything that is a good about the idea of GMO's...unless one holds

stock in AG Biz and Big Pharma. There is an excellent GMO news

service underwritten by http://www.eco-farm.org/. I generally get a

half dozen emails a day on why GMO's are a bad/evil idea. This guy

really does his research.

Soy(or corn or wheat, etc) as a monoculture crop is also a bad...soy

has been foisted upon the public, falsely, as health food (it is not),

by a heavily tax-payer subsidized soy ag biz....and, yes, now food

manufacturers.

The only good way to eat soy is fermented.

Carol,

Theoretically...it is not... but it all depends on how close it grows

to a GMO crop. Kit

QUOTE: " " Co-existence " might be a convenient thing to have politically

or commercially but biologically it is an impossibility. "

------

Experts maintain " co-existence " of GM and GM-free crops is

biologically impossible

Leading experts maintain that it is biologically impossible for GM and

GM-free crops to co-exist, at a conference organised by Consumers

International (CI) and Regione Emilia-Romagna. Ignacio Chapela,

Associate Professor at University of California-Berkeley, told CI:

" " Co-existence " might be a convenient thing to have politically or

commercially but biologically it is an impossibility. For most GMOs

the problem of contamination arises immediately: within one generation

you have escaping genes. "

Ignacio Chapela was one of fourteen experts speaking at a conference

' " Co-existence " , contamination, and GM-free zones: Jeopardising

consumer choice?' in Bologna, Italy on 9 September 2005. Speeches

mostly tackled problems with GM contamination and how to legally and

technically maintain GM-free agriculture.

Angelika Hilbeck, ETH - Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich,

told the conference: " trying to prevent GMO contamination starts with

the seeds; you want to make sure you get uncontaminated seeds. This is

the origin of everything - from there on the contamination multiplies.

For example, in Canada it is hardly possible to get GM-free canola

seeds any more. Even the seed stock has been contaminated at this point. "

Benedikt Haerlin, Director of Save our Seeds and Foundation on Future

Farming, told CI: " [the term] " co-existence " as used by industry means

that those rejecting GMOs have to accept a so-called minimum level of

GM contamination. "

Cuming, GM Campaigns Manager, Consumers International says:

" Listening to the experts it is apparent that contamination will occur

if GM crops are planted alongside GM-free crops. Governments must take

urgent measures to stop GMO contamination to ensure that GM-free food

remains widely available to all consumers. "
