    GrowCanada

    Shannon Vanraes' article in the Manitoba Co-
    Operator about the recent GrowCanada
    conference was published on January 2, 2014.

    Speaker Ron Doering, who is the past President
    of the CFIA in Ottawa, told the biotechnology
    industry audience, according to VanRaes'
    reporting, that Consumers have bee duped into
    the belief that organic is better then conventional.


    He doesn't like organics.


    The article also states "Doering said that
    requiring GM labels on food, would also serve to
    conform that the products are harmful in the eyes
    of the consumer , and that would be bad for the
    biotech business".

    No doubt.

    So the biotech industry is fighting back. Hard.

    The ex-CFIA President Doering has fought long
    and hard for the biotech industry. He must have
    been very inspired, indeed, to fight his Minister.

    VanRae says, "Indeed , Doering is proud of his
    work convincing then federal minister Allan Rock
    to retract a plan to make GM labelling mandatory
    in the late 90's."

    Quote " I worked really, really hard to stop it, " he
    said, adding, "you just fight, fight, fightand never
    allow it to happen."


    In our society today, we indeed see fervor that
    will stop at nothing. Nothing.

    What kind of incentive would Doering have, in
    order to to work so hard for specifically the
    biotech industry, beingst he was the official head-
    inspector for all categories of Canadian food?
    He likes eating? Surely the biotech industry sent
    him a bouquet of roses in full bloom, along with
    a thank you card.

    I thought this was an intereting insight into fervor.


    Meantime, since it has been revealed in the past
    few days, that the CFIA inspected, and found
    organic fruit and vegetable produce has been
    basted in pesticides, so I must quit quoting ex-
    CFIA Boering and find out why the organic
    inspection failed. Two CFIA stories in one week
    is quite the coincidence Parsley
