Organic Honey From USA And Canada Contaminated With Residuals Of Genetically Engineered RoundUpReady Rape From Monsanto

The German commercial beekeepers association (DBIB) tested certified organic honey from USA as well as honey from Canada, found in a German supermarket. Clover-honey and rape-clover-honey from a bavarian company and an import and filling company from Braunschweig. All samples contained residuals of genetically engineered RoundUpReady Rape from Monsanto. While in the United States genetically engineered rape has run wild, are Brasil, Argentina and Romania known for genetically engineered soy getting out of control. Mainly in Romania one estimates that about 90 percent of the cultivated soy is modified.

What is a real ultra conservative government? Isn’t it a government which preserves basic principles of life, namely a healthy earth with natural high quality food, and not run after any day flies among the new technologies? The technology of agro genetic engineering is demonstrably such a dayfly, which is hardly able to get by one day without a scandal - also if some science journalists chant their horses in a very loquaciously way. What is the opposite of a real ultra conservative governemnt? Surely one who acts the innocent, a sanctimonious, revolutionary communistic* governemt who believes without critizism in technological progress, which destroys the basic principles of life to the advantage of technological progress. Thus, a Head of State who also may pass as the best bible carrier** at all times, who prefers genetically engineered food and supports the spread of genetically engineered produce, if necessary in a very inventive way (also terminator-seeds), correlate with the communists rather than the real ultra conservatives.

As a rule there is hardly a country in Europe which is interested in genetically engineered food; even eastern Europe and Russia are not interested. Neither consumers nor beekeepers are interested in this dayfly-technology. Nevertheless there are some countries in the world where genetically engineered crops has become an out-of-control process. Genetically engineered crops like rape, soy and maize have run wild and made beekeeping in these countries nearly impossible or at least it ruins the good reputation as a honey export country. The countries concerned are mainly USA, Canada, China, Brasil, Argentina, Mexico and Romania.
