*GATES FOUNDATION FUNDS LOBBYING FOR GM APPROVALS

The Gates Foundation is awarding $5.4 million which will be directly
devoted to political and lobbying activities (and probably diplomatic
and economic blackmail as well) designed to break down regulatory
resistance to GM crops in Africa. This is absolutely amazing. The
Donald Danforth Centre is located in St Louis, the home of Monsanto.
And guess which corporation is the only non-university partner, and
which presumably provides most of the funding for it? Got it in
one........

Quote: "The funding will help the centre secure the approval of
African governments to allow field testing of genetically modified
banana, rice, sorghum and cassava plants that have been fortified
with vitamins, minerals and proteins............."
