Mothers Against GE
(MAdGE) spokeswoman, Glenda Lindsay, said the group - a newly formed
coalition of anti-GM mothers, grandmothers and children -wanted to show
farmers, Victorian consumers didn`t want genetically engineered (GE) or
GM milk."We want to feed our families food guaranteed to be safe, local and GM free," Ms Lindsay said.
"There are no peer reviewed studies that prove it is safe to drink milk from cows fed GM products."
Ms Lindsay said the group wanted the ban on GM canola in Victoria to be extended permanently.
"It makes no sense to grow GM crops when most polls show shoppers don`t want GM foods," she said.
UDV
members will today vote on a resolution for the UDV to reverse its
anti-GM position and support choice of GM technology in the dairy
industry,"
