Governments don’t mind exposing people to health risks as long as it appears they are doing something about climate change (even if they aren’t)

New Zealand’s Environment Protection Authority gave the green light to register Bovaer in August 2023, the first step to approving its use in the country. Although any current New Zealand use is not documented, if biotechnology deregulation goes ahead, it is unclear if the public will ever be allowed to know about it.

In the following article, citing the public outcry about its use in a trial in the UK, Dr. Guy Hatchard highlights the potential harms and the unknown harms for consumers of products from animals who have been fed the chemical.

- There is no need to label gene-altered foods (presumably because the US doesn’t).
- Biotech technology measures aimed (rather inaccurately) at reducing climate change will be welcomed by the public here and overseas.
- Kiwi biotech will produce an economic miracle.

None of the above are remotely true or plausible. Here’s some more evidence....<<<Read More>>>....
