<< Anyway, I too am interested to see why men feel they need to be
eco-feminists rather than eco-warriors or eco-reformists or some other name.
I'm always sceptical of men in general. When they feel the need to intrude
into womens space or women's issues , I always ask myself, why are they
really doing this? What's in it for them? For men cannot walk in the
footsteps of women (yes they may sympathise with women's business) and
inevitably, it will be women that have to help and encourage women and bring
about change to society in many areas in the long term (if there are some
genuine male eco-reformists who sympathise with eco-feminists, then all the
better). >>
Hi!
Marguerite in here you say that you do not understand why men get involved in
women's issues such as ecofeminism? I want to say something about this but I
would like to clarify this: Are you saying that ecofeminism is a women's
issue?
Thanks!

Mothers for Natural Law has put its petition for mandatory labeling of

An Urgent Message to all Environmentally and Socially Responsible
Americans

Right now over 60% of the foods in your local stores contain
genetically engineered organisms. Hormones, viruses, bacteria,
substances that have never been part of the human food supply now
permeate the foods we eat every day. Everything from pizza to
chips; soda to baby formula.
=20
There have been no studies or long-term safety testing of these foods.
Even worse, none of these foods are labeled so we=D5re denied the
basic parental right to choose what we=D5re feeding our families.
=20
Meanwhile, doctors and scientists all over the world are voicing
grave concerns about genetically engineered foods, and entire
countries are banning them from their borders.
=20
What are they worried about? Allergic reactions, increased estrogen
levels, rise in breast and prostate cancer, the creation of super
bacteria, the spread of toxic viruses, and much more.
=20
Where do genetically engineered foods come from? They=D5re the
brainchild of the same industry that brought us DDT, Agent Orange,
and Thalidomide ...
=20
Today these same companies are short-circuiting standards for
responsible labeling and testing of the foods we eat. More
successfully than any other lobby, they have managed to inhibit the
only means of protection consumers have: government regulation and
consumer choice.
=20
To get a feel for the depth of the genetic engineering crisis,
consider this: The biotech industry is well on the way to
controlling development, production and processing of our global
seed supply. And if they make a mistake, it cannot be fixed -
genetic pollution cannot be contained or cleaned up. It will last
as long as there is life on earth.

Mothers for Natural Law is sponsoring a nation-wide Right to Know
Campaign. Our immediate goal is to collect 1,000,000 names to a
petition demanding truthful labeling of genetically engineered foods
by Thanksgiving.
