Fw: Re: Monsanto GMO Beets Destroyed!

[Guest guest]

Libby,

This is wonderful news, a real landmark decision brought by a wise and courgeous

judge.  Hopefully this will be the first of many such rulings in favor of

eliminating GMO  crops  from our food supply.  This is so important to all of

us who know what healthy natural foods mean to prevent illness and  short life

span.  GMO  crops will eventually infect our sources of organic seeds and I

don't think any of us want to sprout seeds that are contaminated with Round Up

or have been modified from their natural state.

US court orders

Monsanto GMO beets destroyed

AFP

December 2, 2010

A federal judge has ordered what is believed to be the first-ever destruction

of a genetically modified crop in the United States, saying that the altered

sugar beets were planted illegally.

US District Judge White in California granted a preliminary

injunction Tuesday sought by the Center for Food Safety and other groups, which

contended that the Monsanto-produced sugar beet crops were planted without

proper environmental review.

He delayed implementation of the order until December 7 to allow time for an

appeal.

White said in his ruling that “there is a significant risk that the plantings

pursuant to the permits will cause environmental harm.â€

He added that despite efforts to prevent contamination or cross-pollination

of crops, there was no guarantee that the GMO crops would not affect other

plants.
