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

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.
