Campaign Help Needed

Letters and Petition

Yet again the Government has shown itself limited by the market push of the EU and the FDA
with regard to choice in health care and diet. The FDA and EU had worked on an operating system,
which cost millons where the net result is the coloured bar on the end of your ceral box which tells
you the RDA of your food. Its the 'buy it bulk and sell it back at profit' school of thought which brought
the ban on St John's Wort and the envisaged ban on Tea Tree Oil. In translation it just means that
in exchange for the profit of the Multi's we get treated like kids with regard to Choice!
The letters are to be directed to:

Commissioner Markos Kyrianou
DG Sanco,
The European Commission
B-1049 Brussels.
Belgium.

and Mary Harney
The Department of Health and Children

The SOS campaign will run until late Autumn. (Save Our Supplements)

C+P blurb:-

"The EU is currently working to set maximum levels for mineral and vitamin supplements on sale in ireland and
throughout the EU.The Irish Government has proposed these should be no higher than RDA levels, i.e
the minimum amount you need to prevent deficency disease.In other words the RDA level being of 60mg
a day is enough to prevent scurvy but this measure is virtually useless for supporting your immune
system. RDA levels are very much lower than amounts needed to support optimal health"

Interestingly the multis now market Coco Pops to kids as RDA complaint and they pay Irish Voice
Actors to advertise Cereal bars in the Cinemas, which are absolutely full of sugar and the
wrappings are not eco-friendly. the codex and food supplements issues feed directly into the
politics of how the FDA /EU/Multis are attempting to re-educate the consumer on issues of diet
through mass-marketing and branded advertising.
