最新新闻:巴西大豆协会警告农民不要种植孟山都新种子 LATEST NEWS Brazil soy group warns farmers against using new Monsanto seed …………… 孟山都周二回应,说公司还没有允许新的Intacta RR2 Pro转基因大豆种子在巴西的商业销售,要等到巴西转基因大豆所有主要进口国家都批准后,才能批准这样的销售。基于相信中国“随时”能够批准孟山都转基因大豆这个新品种,孟山都已经储存了这种新品种转基因大豆的种子60万袋;如果(中国)再不批准的话,这些种子将被销毁掉,孟山都补充说。 (Monsanto responded Tuesday, saying the company hasn't allowed commercial sales of Intacta RR2 in Brazil and won't do so until all of the country's main export markets approve it. A stockpile of 600,000 sacks of the seeds, which Monsanto had produced based on the belief that China could approve Intacta RR2 at any time, will be destroyed, the firm added.) ( http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4bb17e9d0102e7f5.html ) 原来农业部迫不及待地批准Intacta RR2 Pro转基因大豆进口,竟是为了挽救孟山都这60万袋Intacta RR2 Pro种子不被销毁。 孟山都这种新的转基因大豆属“双毒”转基因,具有抗草甘膦转基因与Bt转基因作物对环境、生态和人类健康的“双重”危害。福克斯去年9月4日的这篇新闻也谈到其超毒性,“去年(2011年),孟山都邀请巴西十个州500位农民在他们种植的草甘磷转基因大豆农田旁试种这种新品种Intacta RR2转基因大豆。对这些农田进行了密切的监测,而后用这种新品种Intacta RR2种子种植的大豆被全部销毁。”(Last year, Monsanto invited 500 Brazilian farmers in 10 states to plant Intacta RR2 alongside fields sown with the company's Roundup Ready soy, an herbicide-resistant variety that is commonly used in Brazil. The fields were closely monitored, and the soybeans produced using Intacta RR2 were subsequently destroyed.) 如果不是卖给中国人,这些Intacta RR2种子种植的大豆就都要销毁,可见孟山都和巴西人都深知其超级毒性。 现在这种超级毒豆终于要卖到中国来了,毒种子不用销毁了,能赚钱,孟山都高兴了!但中国社会的癌症和不育等病情疫情也将随之成倍增长。转基因大豆所带来的每一分每一元的利润,中国农官的每一个“转基因大跃进”的“政绩”,都带有成千上万中国人的鲜血和生命牺牲。 今年5月25日是全球反孟山都日,52个国家436城200多万民众一起走上街头抗议孟山都,示威者的标语牌赫然写道“在孟山都终止人类前人类必须终止孟山都!”孟山都已被全人类视为公敌。 而中国掌管农业的权力机构,竟与邪恶的孟山都站在一起,用中国人民的血汗钱滋养孟山都终止人类 ! 为此不惜先搭上中国人民的生命健康及生存权。这使当今中国在全国人民和全世界人民眼中是个什么形象?! 至于彭于发所说那几个批准进口转基因大豆的理由——劳动力成本不断上涨,国内的播种面积满足不了需求,中国没有这么多的后备耕地资源等等。显然这都是为孟山都等外国公司出口转基因垃圾大豆谋取利益,避免其损失的托词而已。这些借口没有一个能够成立。 谁都知道国内大量耕地撂荒闲置,何来“没有这么多的后备耕地资源”?即使真的因为需要进口大豆,乌克兰的非转基因天然大豆比美洲的转基因大豆还要便宜,而且没有转基因大豆的安全性风险。日本已从乌克兰大量进口非转基因天然大豆,中国为什么放着安全的、便宜的不买,却偏偏要买又贵又不安全的孟山都转基因大豆? 再说我国天然大豆的种植面积不断萎缩和劳动力成本不断上涨,这正是农业高官勾结外商,不仅不保护而且还刻意打压国产大豆,为孟山都等对我大量输出转基因大豆创造条件的杰作。使原本在国际市场上比转基因大豆价格高出一倍的天然大豆,在国内其价格居然还不如进口的转基因大豆。其实,美国转基因大豆生产成本更高,若无美国政府补贴,转基因大豆种植农户早就亏损破产了 。 —————————————————————— 注1:中国日报网 财经频道《孟山都进口转基因大豆被指存审批检测缺陷》 http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/hqc ... ontent_6015839.html 注2:国外新闻消息(包括孟山都公司自己的新闻消息)表明:各国批准转基因大豆Intacta RR2后并没付诸商业化种植。中国批准进口(应该有定货承诺),使巴西、阿根廷和南非(除美国外的转基因大豆主要产国)开始该品种商业化种植。 Brazil: Intacta RR2, Monsanto’s seed approved by China, will be planted in over 10% of the area June 21, 2013 | Author agrosouthadm http://www.agrosouth-news.com/?p=249 Brazil Soy Group Warns Farmers Against Monsanto Seed Copyright 2012 Dow Jones Newswires http://m.foxbusiness.com/quickPa ... 2073pageNum=-1 News Releases Monsanto Company Receives Final Key Regulatory Approval For Intacta RR2 PRO™ Soybeans, Setting Up Commercial Launch In Brazil With China Approval and Commercial Launch, Intacta RR2 PRO™ Soybeans Expected to Become Core Growth Driver Within Monsanto's Next-Generation Soybean Platform Jun 17, 2013 http://monsanto.mediaroom.com/20 ... al-Launch-In-Brazil

Dear, As you know, we're entering the final days of the historic campaign for Prop 37 to label genetically engineered foods in California. After more than a month of being carpetbombed by negative and deceptive ads, the Yes on 37 campaign holds a narrow lead in the polls - that's stunning news! And Monsanto is scared - last Friday they just donated another $1 million dollars. Despite going up against the largest and most powerful companies on the planet, the California Right to Know campaign still leads in the hearts and minds of everyday Californians. Earlier this week, Around the Capitol, a site that offers an insider look at state and policy issues compiled 4 major polls regarding the ballot propositions in California this fall, just updated their poll results on Prop 37 . The amazing news is that after more than spending more than $40 million dollars on deceptive ads by Monsanto and the giant pesticide and junk food companies , Yes on 37 still leads in the polls! Take a look at the good news below: Around The Capitol Polling Averages ( https://fdn.actionkit.com/donate/fight_to_win_prop37_now/?akid=679.430789.B5tUvgrd=1t=8 ) Updated: November 2, 2012 While stories have been written about the slide in the polls for the Yes on 37 campaign, the fact remains that the other side knows that the people of California are still in the lead despite their multimillion dollar deceptive advertising campaign. After all, why would they be pouring money into the final days of the campaign - just in the past week both Monsanto and DuPont have piled in another $1 million dollars each. So far the other side has raised more than $45 million to defeat us and the People's California Right to Know is still winning! Right now it's close, but Monsanto is running scared。。。 Remember, as California goes, so goes the nation. With your help we can expose their lies to California voters and celebrate a victory in just 8 days! Thanks for participating in food democracy, Dave, Lisa and the Food Democracy Action!

在科学网上关于转基因问题的争论如火如荼时,今天看到一则消息,孟山都的一种新的耐草甘膦除草剂的转基因油菜新品种已经获得澳新食品标准局的批准,获得在澳大利亚食品生产应用中的许可。 原文见: http://www.weeklytimesnow.com.au/article/2012/08/22/528515_latest-news.html ANOTHER genetically-modified canola variety tolerant to glyphosate herbicide could soon be on the market. Food Standards Australia and New Zealand is proposing approval of GM canola known as MON88302 to be used in food production in Australia after an application by Monsanto. The trans-tasman regulatory body found the variety would not damage human health and is calling for pubic submissions on the pending approval. FSANZ chief executive officer Steve McCutcheon said: "The FSANZ safety assessment found there are no human health or safety concerns and that food from this canola line is as safe for human consumption as food derived from conventional canola." Approval by FSANZ for the GM canola to be used in food production means the canola would have to be imported into Australia. Monsanto would need to apply to the Office of the Gene Technology Regulator for approval for the new variety to be grown in Australia. FSANZ has approved 53 GM crops – either home-grown or imported – for food production use in Australia since 2000. These crops are canola, soyabean, corn, cotton, potato, sugarbeet and rice. Only some cotton and canola crops have been approved by the OGTR for commercial production in Australia. FSANZ said it was mandatory for foods made from GM crops – either from those grown in Australia or imported – to have "genetically modified" included on their labels. It said some exceptions applied, such as products which were highly refined and did not contain plant DNA or proteins. "Typically includes refined oils and starches from some GM crops," a spokesman said. "If we use GM soyabean as an example, whole soyabeans, lecithin, soyabean flour, soy milk and soyabean meal would all require mandatory GM labelling. "Soyabean oil would be the only product exempt from labelling because of the absence of novel DNA or protein." FSANZ said oils from a GM crop could not be distinguished from those from a conventional crop unless the genetic modification altered the composition of the oil. It said there was also no requirement to label food products derived from animals fed on GM crops because the animals had not been genetically modified. It said there was no scientific basis to warrant labelling of meat or milk derived from animals fed GM crops.
美国时间 2012年10月25日 (星期五) 离美国加州公众参与转基因标识法案投票还剩12天,公众与转基因种子公司的“民主博弈”在势力上有了一些变化: 对于 发起转基因标识法案投票的一方 坏消息 是 :孟山都和杜邦这些天每天花100万做广告,已经见效: 10月24日《洛杉矶时报》的民意调查显示:支持转基因标识法案和反对的人数比例是:44% 比 42%。 好消息 是 : 孟山都继续宣传一惯的观点,影响民众认知,尽管GMO一方还有2%落后。 而到目前为止, 发起转基因标识法案投票 的“支持转基因标识”的广告还没开始打出来呢 ----- 因为钱少,总共才500万, 所以要从美国时间10月25日起才开始正式打广告,据说 发起转基因标识法案投票 这次与孟山都PK,只能把冲刺留在最后,因为老百姓临近投票前印象比较深。 孟山都的宣传,令公众对标识法案的投票支持率从: 62% ----》48% ------ 44% , 不过 发起转基因标识法案投票 的广告宣传要美国时间10月25日才开始。值得注意的是:孟山都等 转基因生物公司动用了 4千万美元广告费,美化GMO, 历时40天,即:每天烧掉100万美元。 而 发起转基因标识法案投票 这方只有500万美金,选择在投票前最后12天才做广告, 但目前民意还是领 先。 这次 发起转基因标识法案投票 让全球关注的原因是地方立法可以抵制 转基因不受限制进入美国民众餐桌,让我们留意这个日子 :2012年11月6日,它可能是 转基因食品产业的一个转折点! stop Monsan to short 12 Days to Stop Monsanto - Join Us for the Food Fight of the Century to Label GMOs! Dear, Yesterday I was honored to stand with mothers, farmers and everyday Californians in front of the Los Angeles City Council to ask for their support for Prop 37 to label GMOs. Incredibly, the LA City Council unanimously passed a resolution to endorse Prop 37 , the historic initiative that would give Californians the right to label genetically engineered food. It felt great to win their support! As the co-chair of the California Right to Know campaign, I was the last person to speak, and I wanted to make one thing clear: the issue of labeling genetically engineered foods is about two things - food and democracy - and in America both are at risk. We have a right to know what's in our food and no one has the right to corrupt our basic democratic rights, no matter how much money they have. But right now that's exactly what's happening in California. In the past several weeks Monsanto and DuPont have been running deceptive and misleading ads about Prop 37 to confuse California voters. The bad news is that it's working! Today a poll came out in the Los Angeles Times that puts Yes on 37 slightly ahead at 44% to 42%. The good news is that Monsanto and their pesticide and junk food coalition have thrown all the lies they can at the Yes on 37 campaign to label GMOs and we're still ahead - and we haven't even started running our TV ads, which start tomorrow, r ight now we need your help more than ever to get them on the air in as many locations across the state as possible. This is a historic battle and right now we are in a fight to the finish with only 12 days left. Chip in $7 dollars to help defeat Monsanto’s bid to stop GMO labeling in California and the U.S. Help make sure that we reach an even wider audience to help defeat the lies and misinformation that Monsanto and their allies are already flooding the airwaves with so we can claim victory this fall . http://fdn.actionkit.com/go/702?t=8akid=666.430789.ZjnF3V Heroes and Zeroes of Yes on 37 Last week we put out a Heroes and Zeroes Scorecard on Yes on 37 to let you know exactly who we were up against, and who has your back in this battle. The other side has raised over $40 million dollars to defeat the labeling of genetically engineered foods in California. Monsanto alone has put in $7.1 million dollars. DuPont, $4.9 million against California's mothers, children and farmers. The real question is: What do they have to hide? The same companies that are fighting our Right to Know on Prop 37 already label their genetically engineered foods in 61 other countries around the world. Now they say they can't comply in California? Right now it's close, but Monsanto is running scared and together we can stop them! The opposition knows one thing - that lying and deception works. After all, they did it for decades, whether it was covering up the harm to human health of cigarettes, Agent Orange or DDT. This fall, Californians will go to the ballot box to vote on one of the single most important issues of our time – whether or not we have a Right to Know what’s in our food or if corporations have control over our basic democratic rights. This fight is an epic battle of the People vs. the multinational Corporations, as you will see below. Thousands of individuals have contributed to this campaign, and with your help, Food Democracy Action! has contributed $75,000. Thank you to all those that donated! But we can't stop there. We won't meet their measure in funds, and we don't need to. But we do need to get our ads on the air to combat their lies and deception. It’s for the heart and soul of America and we need your help today. Dave, Lisa and the Food Democracy Action! Team 沈 阳 2012年10月26日 10时22分 office
拙文《 转基因主粮安全性问题(46)别小看金钱的力量 》讲到孟山都等和支持转基因标识的双方捐款悬殊,便知道想用美国所谓民主决策,金钱的力量才是决定作用的,今天再给大家一个有关“100万加州人的签名才获得这个37号提案将于11月6日投票”的票数变化材料,可以发现: 转基因作物种子公司孟山都的广告一周来对消费者的影响,已经使得将会对第37号提案投赞成票的人数比例从61% 下降到48%, 这就是他们一天花100万美元的效益。 有学者认为,光明网的转基因专题“专门反对转基因”,但是,本人不明白的是:农业部在宣传转基因安全方面花了那么多钱(有人披露是200万元,未经证实),转基因作物种子公司一年在中国获得了那么多收益(十亿元级)也喑中花了那么多公关、推广费用,光明网一个转基因专题会影响公众消费倾向与认识吗? 真的会,这种学者就应该多写一点批驳光明网的转基因专题“专门反对转基因”文章,而不是指责光明网。 附: 转基因作物种子公司孟山都的广告一周来对消费者的影响,已经使得将会对第37号提案投赞成票的人数比例从61% 下降到48%, 这就是他们一天花100万美元的效益。 Right now Monsanto friends are spending $1 million dollars a day to defeat Prop 37 for GMO labeling - Join us to Fight Back today! Dear , On November 6, Californians will vote on Prop 37, which would require all genetically modified foods to be clearly labeled. This is a historic campaign – it would mean that for the first time in the United States, consumers would have the right to know what’s in the food they eat and feed to their families. Nearly one million Californians signed their names to put the California Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act – aka Prop 37 - on the ballot, and over 90% of Americans say they support labeling GMOs. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the world's largest pesticide and junk food companies, led by Monsanto, DuPont and Dow Chemical, have committed over $40 million to defeating our efforts. Right now their ads are bombarding the airways in California trying to confuse California voters. And it's working. In the past week our poll numbers have dropped from 61% to 48%. We're up against $1 million dollars being spent a day on misleading attack ads from Monsanto and DuPont and we need to fight back now! That’s why we need your help. Click here to Volunteer for our national phone bank to help us reach 1 million more Californians before Election Day, November 6! http://action.fooddemocracynow.org/go/694?t=7akid=656.430789.azyYvk As you know, Prop 37 is a common sense ballot measure that will require food sold in California to be labeled if it contains genetically engineered ingredients (GMOs) and not allow foods that contain GMOs to be marketed as "natural". Right now Monsanto is scared as hell that we're going to win and that's why they're spending $1 million a day to defeat us. It makes you wonder, what they have to hide? Across the country, passionate volunteers and supporters are joining together to make sure that Proposition 37 becomes law this November. Join our efforts and sign up to volunteer for our Right to Know today! For decades, companies like Monsanto and Dow have stopped efforts to inform consumers about what they eat. But now, with your help, we can defeat them! It’s time for the U.S. to join 61 other countries that already require labeling, but it won’t happen without your help. Please volunteer to call a California voter today. We know we can win with your help. This is our most ambitious grassroots effort to date and we need volunteers like you to help make calls to defeat Monsanto and the junk food giants. Earlier this winter, more than 2,000 Food Democracy Now! members joined CA volunteers to help gather nearly a million signatures in less than 10 weeks to put Prop 37 on the ballot and now we need your help once again to get it passed! 本人跟踪此事想告诉大家:科学真相、公共利益规制,有时是可能被利益集团操纵的。 普世价值,那是听听就行。引用前几天(10月20日)同一位在美国生活了十年回来创业的TMT海归说法作为本文结束语: “美国人都知道转基因有害,我们在美国生活基本不卖,不吃。例如,红萝卜,在美国就是喂马的,它就是转基因的,人吃了会得喉癌。这是有报道的事。” 沈 阳 2012年10月24日 10时25分 beijing office
