Dear colleagues:

This is a very interesting and very damning report prepared by an investment advisors' group, Portfolio 21, which is an investment management group with about US$500 million mutual fund, based in Portland.

A quote that is truly spot on:

"*As we got into our background research, we read of an industry that bullied its critics, overwhelmed government regulators and used the global agricultural and food systems as a source of profits at the expense of many participants. It was disappointing, disturbing and even a little hard to believe. Then, we got a small taste of this treatment ourselves when we were denied permission to use certain data for our report that we had obtained from a pro-GMO public website."  *

Bam! When capital investment groups start attacking like this, you know something big is down the road.

Please circulate widely; esp. to colleagues in Colorado and Oregon….

Attached.
