Please pass to as many as possible. Due to clever PR, consumers are made to
believe that margarine is 'healthy'. No margarine has any health benefits
whatsoever, even those with olive oil, since they are all a product of
hydrogenation.

TO GENE ACTIVISTS & OTHER INTERESTED PEOPLE -
The Goodman Fielder group is probably Australia's largest user of
cottonseed oil. This is likely to find its way into the 'vegetable oil'
used in a number of MEADOW LEA margarines, as well as some other products
under the brands WHITE WINGS and PUFFIN.
a) Tell Meadow Lea that you would like them to remove cottonseed oil from
their range of margarines unless they can obtain a non genetically
engineered supply.

Ph: Freecall 1800 638 112
Postal: The Customer Service Manager, Meadow Lea, PO Box 57, Mascot,
NSW 1460
These margarines made by Meadow Lea range all contain un-named vegetable
oils;
GOLD & CANOLA
LOGICOL
MEADOW LEA
MIRACLE
MRS McGREGORS
OLIVE GROVE
SUNDEW
WEIGHT WATCHERS

b) Contact Goodman Fielder Food Services, and ask them to change over to an
'identity-preserved' non genetically engineered cottonseed oil.  If you run
a food business, make this known at the start.
