Involving Rick Roush, Martin Stapper, Paula Fitsgerald and Scott Kinnear.

The Pundit noted:

For Scott Kinnear of Organic Whole Foods it seems, raising scares about his  business competitors is completely unrelated to his own marketing of organic produce.

Scott blames GM for Indian farmer suicides, and believes the erroneous Aris and Leblanc report on GM proteins getting into mother's blood. This dissemination of myths from SFF is not a surprise, but it is disappointing that the same often debunked misinformation is repeatedly used in this debate year after year. Kinnear's judgement that GM canola is going nowhere in Australia is belied by the on the ground record success in West Australia (explained by Bill Crabtree in the next post).

But at least he acknowledges this GMO Pundit blog as a source of information. :-)
