I've been offline for 24hrs, and with a new Network Adaptor now, can peruse the web and get on the forum again!!
Ladies, how I wish that this was some sort of futuristic nonsense, but sadly it isn't. Several years ago, I already heard rumblings about this at the health food store I regularly frequented back in Devon..... What appals me is that we are going to be "bombarded" with chemicals etc wholly and interely against our wishes! There is already so much rubbish (chemicals, preservatives, colorants, etc.) in our food, and trying to find something without this cr*p is getting more and more problematic!!! Having read and reread the email I received from a friend, and then having read what ELIANT is trying to achieve, the first thing I did was "sign the petition", and then wondered whether I needed to become a 100% vegetarian, keep some hens for eggs, and grow my own veggies, herbs and fruit...... If and when necessary, I personally have an aversion to regular medication and regular doctors, but please take note, that is MY CHOICE!! And I am not forcing my choice on anyone!! But what enfuriates me about this NEW law, is that our FREEDOM of CHOICE is being taken away from us!!! Plus we will be forced to consume tampered with foods!! This new law may have the cooperation of the FAO and the WHO, but it is clearly the WTO and the many chemical companies who are "to blame" for this potential destruction of our freedom!! To say that I am angry about it, is an understatement!!!
If you want more information, I will get it for you.
Do have a look at the following website, which is largely in English:
