MOT Posted November 25, 2009 Dear Fellow Australian, Many of you who have sent your petitions regarding swine flu, fluoride, GM crops and vaccines, are definitely interested in your freedom to determine your own lifestyle, diet and medical practices etc. You may or may not use health supplements however the theme is still the same, BIG Government trying to control our lives and at the same time creating and or protecting markets for the larger corporate interests.... Our second petition is regarding GM Canola in Western Australia and Government political interference of test crops and scientists. We ask you to read the below information and the links, then help the causes if you feel this is something you feel strongly about. Thank you for your support Michael Bending Health Petitions Australia "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." - Edmund Burke ************************************************************ The TGA are up to their old tricks again, trying to control more of the healthy food we eat but at the same time (as usual) not concerning itself about harmful pharmaceutical drugs or chemicals in our food chain. TGA classifying our food as drugs Hippocrates said "let food be thy medicine". This did not mean that our food should be regulated as dangerous drugs that need to be treated as potentially life threatening! Hundreds of years later the observation of Hippocrates still stands, yet the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) want to go one step further and class our food as a hazardous medicine similar to dangerous synthetic pharmaceutical drugs? The TGA wants to do this by changing legislation that makes our food in capsule or tablet form a drug! Does this mean that Kellogg's Special-K or shredded wheat cereals in a capsule could soon be a drug here in Australia? Certainly such health products like Chlorella, Wheat grass, Barley grass and Spirulina will be soon classified as a drug if the TGA has its way! Please read the full article and then send your email to the MP's and the TGA committee. This petition needs to be sent before the 30th of November as the TGA submissions close.

Political pressure is now being brought to bear on her research by the current Agriculture and Food Minister of Western Australia. Please send your petition to the Western Australian Government (Premier & Agriculture minister plus WA Government scientists) as well as Kevin Rudd and the Federal Minister for Agriculture, Tony Bourke.
