*US RADIO ON GM
from John Turner of FARM: I came across the following interview by chance the other day, and if you haven't heard it already, it is well worth a listen to. Although it is possible to read reams about the fact the US doesn't know it is eating GM foods and the lack of safety testing, hearing it on a US radio station seems to bring the point home very clearly.

*PRO-GM RAP PROJECT?
This went out on CS Prakash's pro-GM AgBioView list and possibly involves his son Rohan who has previously sung eulogies to Norman Borlaug and sent hate mails to GM Watch!
The Genetically Modified Foods Rap Project http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWE4wgE2KRw
When you go to this, you'll see there's also lots of Monsanto pro-GM video material available on youtube. Looks like a deliberate strategy.

*PRO-GM PROPAGANDA IN US SCHOOLS?
We've been told pro-GM spin in the form of the documentary "History's harvest: where our food comes from" is being marketed to US educators to show students in middle and high schools.
