SEND AN INSTANT EMAIL TODAY to Rogers Sugar/Lantic from http://www.cban.ca/sugaraction

Take Action before April 8, 2009!

Canadian sugar company Lantic Inc. (Rogers Sugar and Lantic brands) is deciding right now to accept or reject Monsanto’s genetically modified (GM) sugar beet. Lantic Inc. is the only sugar company in Canada that processes sugar beet (grown in Alberta) but the GM sugar beet will only be planted if Lantic allow it. Lantic sugar is currently GM-Free. Stop GM sugar beets from being planted this April!

Send an email to Edward Makin, the President of Lantic Inc. asking him to keep Canadian sugar GM-Free http://www.cban.ca/sugaraction

Act now before Lantic allows the planting of GM sugar beet! For more info: http://www.cban.ca/sugarbeet

This sugar beet is genetically modified to be resistant to Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup and is currently applied to sugar beet used for processing into sugar (as opposed to red table beets).
