Seed Keepers

["Woody" <wderyckx@peoplepc.com>]

Did you know that the few companies that control sugar beet production (and 
beet sugar production) in the USA are quietly switching over to ROUNDUP 
READY     sugar beets with MONSANTO technology?  Yes, right now as we 
converse,  beet seed growers in Oregon's Willammett Valley are transplanting 
planting vernalized plugs for the first mass seed crop of GMO seed.
This means:
Beet Sugar and all products that contain this ingredient will most likely be 
GMO
Pollen from GMO sugar beets will soon be flying all over the sugar beet seed 
growing regions potentially contaminating table beet seed  and swiss chard 
seed.
Organic seed growers are threatened by GMO contamination!!!!
The Organic Seed Alliance along with High Mowing Seed and the Center for 
Food Safety and others has filed suit against the USDA APHIS for allowing 
this without proper environmental impact review  but there will be no 
imediate injunction against the planting out of this GMO material.  See 
www.seedalliance.org for more information.
I wonder if  B.T. Cabbage won't be next.  And then what?  The government 
continues to approve these monsters without due process and prudent review. 
The government continues to resist demands to require labeling of GMO 
products.
