                         ----------------------------------

 ANNOUNCEMENT 1 (Feb 3): Vote Against Gentically Modified Beer/GM Natto (from 
Akiko in Sweden, from International Green Forum Japan) In Sweden, a small 
beer company has made an agreement with Monsanto to launch a new beer, Kenth, 
produced with Monsanto's GM corn (Bt-maize - MON810) from April 1 this year 
with GMO labelling on. The beer company has gotten a guarantee from Monsanto 
that if nobody is interested in this beer, the company will be able to get 
out from this Monsanto's project. This story remains me of the Monsanto's 
Roundup Ready soy Natto project - a small company is trying to sell Natto 
(fermented soybeans) made of Monsanto's herbicide resistant soybeans through 
internet - in Japan. How about in your country? Watch out, small companies 
are the target of Monsanto.

At the moment, a Swedish newspaper, Aftonbladet, is asking people to vote 
whether you want to drink this GM beer or not. You can also go to this site 
and vote:

Question: Vill du dricka genmanipulerad �?

If you do NOT want it, press "Nej", which means "No".
