I cannot understand this at all. We have a powerful press in this country. Why have they not got hold of it? I have never heard of Elaint or the word "antroposophic" so I have to think about this for a while. What seems to be on the agenda though is that Elaint are collecting one million signatures in order to have some kind of power within these world organisations. If I have got that wrong please correct me. If I am right then I want to know exactly who the individuals are because adding my signature on the above issues may be a way of giving them other powers and a faceless organisation is frightening. The most scare mongering paper is the Daily Mail - perhaps your post should be sent to them?

I have read recently that there is a world food shortage. Indeed, Gordon Brown said exactly that during an interview a few days ago. "World food shortage?" It seems impossible to believe when our shops are so full but there it is. Is it that organic farming cannot sustain the size of the world's population? There is more to this than I can see at the moment. Very important thread Chatelaine, thanks.
