Family Pressures Healthy Vegan To Eat Meat And Dairy

"I've been Vegetarian for about three years and I'm happy and very healthy. I recently became vegan and I still have a very healthy diet and don't feel deprived.

How do I get them to leave me alone and stop pressuring me? - O.K."

New Suspicions About Genetically Modified Organisms

By Herve Kempf, Le Monde, 9 February 2006

Reprinted by Organic Consumers Association

English Translation from Truthout

SV Note: Here's an introduction to a GMO article in the mainstream French paper Le Monde. We need articles like this in the major American newspapers - oh, silly me, I forgot, they're not allowed to print stuff like this! Thank goodness for the net - still sort of free.

"Do transgenic plants have a negative effect on health? Ever since their commercialization in 1996, the question has agitated circles of experts and ecologists, without any indisputable proof allowing an affirmative response."

"Now, several recent studies effected by credible researchers and published in scientific reviews tally with one another to throw doubt on GMOs' complete harmlessness. They don't assert that GMOs generate health problems. But at the very least they suggest that GMOs provoke biological impacts that must be more widely studied."

"This new questioning arises just as the Council of Ministers adopted a proposed law on GMO Wednesday, February 8, and as the World Trade Organization (WTO) handed over an interim report February 7 to the parties in a conflict that opposes the United States, Canada, and Argentina to the European Union on the issue of transgenic plants."
