Michael Schmidt in Regina

I highly encourage you to come out to this special opportunity to hear Michael Schmidt talk about raw milk in Canada

Michael Schmidt will be in Regina, Sunday December 5th from 2-5 pm at St Mary's Anglican Church, 3337 15 th Avenue.

Even if you are not a raw milk enthusiast this issue is relevant to you! This is about food choice, food security, rural sustainability, big business, the ability of Canadian farmers to actually make a decent living and so much more.

Raw milk is just one element concerning the future of food in Canada. Consider the absurdity that Health Canada is actually contemplating the sale of Genetically Engineered salmon to Canadian consumers but the sale of raw milk is illegal!

AquaBounty Technologies, an American bio-engineering company has used a hatchery in P.E.I to develop its GE (genetically engineered) salmon. This salmon is engineered to grow at a much faster rate through the use of the insulin like Growth Factor genes of a Chinook salmon. IGF-1 is illegal in Canada and Europe but is found in the milk that is sold in grocery stores in America. It is linked to prostrate, breast and colon cancer and the early development of puberty. AquaBounty is looking to the Canadian market to sell its GE salmon to Canadian consumers.
