I have some questions for Ralph van Dulfsen in reference to his letter.
If GMO products are so good, why are some countries banning the use of GMOs?
If GMO products are so good why are the companies using GMOs against labeling their products?
In the past there were medications that were promoted to be safe to use. Now, 20 years later they have been found to be harmful. Could not the same happen to GMO products?
I am in my eighties and have gardened most of my life using no pesticides or herbicides.
I organize the Shuswap Seed Savers Seed Swap & Sale in Enderby which has been held at the A.L. Fortune School for the last six years.
The Seed Swap started in 1995 with about 40 people. The last two years the attendance has increased to over 750. I am seeing more and more people at these events who want to grow their own gardens or purchase food without GMOs.
The Bee SAFE group in Lumby represents all the farmers and growers who care about building an agricultural system without GMOs that is safe for bees and for everybody else.
