Don't be afraid to
tell the truth
In spite of all the eloquent
arguments and excuses in the letters
of Jack Wilkinson and Dennis Jack in
response to Keith Roulston's column
"Consumers still seen as enemy"
(August 1996) the simple truth
remains - if you want to hide
something, you keep it a secret!
The much too -often -used
quotation of Canada's health,
environmental and agriculture
standards being among the highest of
the world, if it ever had any validity,
certainly fades in this new age of
self-regulation, where profit is the
only standard that counts for
corporations and their shareholders.
Scientists still haven't learned the
basic lesson: if you are looking for a
cure to a problem then look for the
cause first. Don't change the
genetics, because Nature has more
weapons to fight back than mankind
can ever imagine! Just look how
bugs, viruses and bacteria can
become resistant to chemical poisons
while humans suffer!
Consumers must have an informed
choice, no matter what it takes to
come up with a true labelling system.
And biotech companies don't have to
be afraid to tell the truth - just look
around at how many people arc still
smoking themselves to death and
killing others with the second-hand
smoke, despite the dire warnings
printed on the cigarette packages!0
