A campaign asking the Government establish country of origin and GM food labelling and stop, the routine feeding of antibiotics on factory farmed animals was launched by the green.
There were declaring, "nothing more political than food", launched green MP Sue Kedgley that "food revolution" campaign at the annual Conference of the parties in Wellington yesterday.
Chinese garlic used as an example of why country of origin labelling required war.Billige Chinese garlic had pressed from New Zealand farmers, you said, but the imported plant ozone layer has been fumigated with methyl bromide and "very toxic".
"In most supermarkets New Zealand why there is no label where garlic comes to say?"Mrs Kedgley asked.
She underlined the waste of energy in the transport of garlic 10,500 km from China.
Mrs Kedgley is the campaign also use awareness about the lack of New Zealand input in setting food standards.
Health Minister Annette King was the only New Zealanders on 22 ministerial food advice of the food standards Australia New Zealand, she said.
New Zealand had the same status as Tasmania, said, and only one of 10 Stimmen.Auch, the Organization through the official information act and as voting remained secret was not covered, she said.
The Green Party has started a nationwide petition for the Government to stop the use of antibiotics in animals that are significant to human medicine.
Mrs Kedgley said the feeding of antibiotics to factory farmed animals represent a serious threat to medical progress.
"The biggest benefit of antibiotics you must be used sparingly - but many farmers are using antibiotics indiscriminately interfere."
Pharmacs cut campaign for the human consumption of antibiotics fact was undermined by that that more than 100 tons of antibiotics were administered to animals in 2002.
The food revolution Web site includes a facility for e-Mail postcards to Prime Minister Helen Clark, Mrs King and food standards Australia New Zealand are sent.
Mrs Kedgley denied this meant that were green boost the amount of spam, say it was a democratic.
Food for thought - Green concerns:
Lack of mandatory country of origin and GM food labelling.Continued feeding of antibiotics to factory farmed animals like chickens.Decisions over what food is available and as it is labelled are of an Australian-dominated organization food standards Australia New Zealand made.
