Everybody write a letter! You can't run headlines and get politicians involved about soy and corn and aspartame and leave out cheese! Write a letter to the address below, and ask them why they are not printing Dan Spillane's letter. If everyone in the UK has a right to know about soy and corn, why not cheese, especially since almost all of it n the UK is made with GM! letters@independent.co.uk ** Previous message ** The fact that 90 percent of hard cheeses in Europe are made using GM is being covered up in the UK -- it should be in the headlines. Earlier this week, I wrote a letter to The Independent (UK) asking them why this has NEVER come out in the press, but they will not publish my short letter, nor have they returned my phone calls. This is the same paper which recently published a headline story on how Aspartame is being produced using GM. Surely, the fact that the same kind of GM technique is being used for cheese is worthy of a headline! Below is their phone number. Ask them why they are censoring this important information, since according to all groups in the UK (government, Greenpeace, consumers) the public has a right to know how food is made. Mention Dan Spillane's letter. UK editorial offices at 44 171 293 2802; you must dial "011" first from most places in the US. There is about an eight hour difference (ahead). Here is the headline story they printed recently: "World's top sweetener is made with GM bacteria" independent.co.uk
