Part One
The government sided with Monsanto
even thought they knew it was dangerous...


CODEX sides against Monsanto
this one time???

t is now 15 years since Monsanto embarked on a series of
large scale veterinary trials on rBGH all over the U.S., and sold
milk from these trials to an uninformed and unsuspecting public
with the full approval of the FDA. Since then, Monsanto and the
FDA, strongly supported by a network of indentured university
academics, aggressive lobbying by the National Dairy Council and
its well organized "hit squads" targeting rBGH opponents, andan
overwhelmingly uncritical media, have ignored or trivialized
substantial scientific evidence on the hazards of rBGH milk,
including a series of publications over the last decade in the
International Journal of Health Services, the most prestigious
international public health publication. Also ignored by the
media have been charges in 1981 by Congressman John Conyers (then
Chairman of the House Committee on Government Operations), on the
basis of a leaked confidential Monsanto study revealing serious
pathology in cows injected with rBGH, that "Monsanto and the FDA
have chosen to suppress and manipulate animal health test data in
efforts to approve commercial use ofrBGH".

These considerations reinforce growing concerns on the
extreme unreliability of Monsanto and other biotech industry
claims of the safety of genetically modified soy and other foods,
especially in the absence of comprehensive testing by independent
scientific experts, who should be funded by industry and not
consumers.

It may be further noted that the premier health and science U.K. journalist George Monbiot in his July 22 article in The Guardian, reported that "three weeks ago the European Union routed an American attempt to force - - (Europe) to accept (rBGH milk) since safety concerns about rBGH milk could not be ignored". Monbiot also commented on the "deluge of absolutely no coverage at all" with which this unprecedented and momentous ruling against genetically modified food has been greeted.

"The Codex Alimentarius, or the food code, has become the global reference point for consumers, food producers and processors, national food control agencies and the international food trade. The code has had an enormous impact on the thinking of food producers and processors as well as on the awareness of the end users – the consumers. Its influence extends to every continent, and its contribution to the protection of public health and fair practices in the food trade is immeasurable."

The reach and influence of Codex Alimentarius is undoubtedly global. There are 180 member countries, including such notables as Canada, the USA, every member state of the EU, Switzerland, Israel, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, China, Japan and Australia. Has this influence done more harm than good? Has the world seen an increase in the availability of healthy food products and fair trade? China is producing toxic baby formula. The USA is trying to legislate seed cleaning and seed banks. Use of toxic food additives like aspartame are increasingly pervasive in common international food products, including those products intended for children. More land is being planted with GM food crops every year.
