Dear consumer,
Supermarkets and the food industry want you to believe their products
are good for you, nature and environment. But please don�t be misled.
Almost all non-organic meat, eggs and dairy sold in supermarkets comes
from animals fed on genetically modified (GM) soy. That�s important
for you to know, but it�s not on the label. Even worse, this soy will
soon be called �responsible.� The label has been developed by the
Round Table on Responsible Soy (RTRS). The RTRS consists mainly of
companies that have a strong interest in expanding the soy industry.
Members range from soy producers and grain dealers to the biotech,
pesticide, animal feed and oil sectors. They include BP, Shell,
Cargill, Bayer, Syngenta, and Monsanto. A few NGOs are also on board,
notably the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
The scheme will not reduce the massive pesticide use that poisons
people and the environment in South America. It will not stop land
conflicts. It will not even stop deforestation. It will definitely not
reduce soy imports. But it will create a �green� label for GM crops.
For the first time, a genetically modified crop, designed to be
sprayed with massive amounts of pesticides, will be labelled
�responsible�. That is why environmental and social organisations are
writing to supermarkets and food companies, asking them not to mislead
their customers. We � Friends of the Earth International, the Global
Forest Coalition, Rettet den Regenwald (Rainforest Rescue), European
Coordination Via Campesina, Food and Water Europe and many others �
strongly oppose the RTRS�s attempt to greenwash soy. We want to reduce
Europe�s dependence on imported soy and call for radical changes in
the way food is produced.
Please join us and tell the supermarkets that you don�t accept the
RTRS�s misleading label. Sign the form and your message will be sent
to supermarkets and food companies all over Europe. Please distribute
this action widely and inform your friends as well. Thank you very
much for your support.
