That is a question being asked by a growing band of skeptics (concerned consumers) who point to glaring oversights in so-called 'scientific breakthroughs'. A case in point, and arguably the ugliest of them all, is the new breed of genetically engineered or modified foods that are literally 'sneaking' into the isles of every food market of the world, totally untested for their long-term effect on humans, and unlabeled because most governments do not require it! Equally concerned independent scientists (who do not recieve money from companies researching, creating or selling these genetically-manipulated crops and food ingredients) are calling for a moratorium on genetically-manipulated food ingredients and long-term independent human studies lasting many years before these foods are allowed for sale on the market. For the moment, however, those calls are falling on deaf ears. It is issues like these that call into question the very sanity, intelligence and liability of big business. Should we allow this gross exploitation of our planet and humanity by a few selfish "human animals"? I would think that most people would cry a strong "No!". Then I must say: "It is now time to speak out!" *- The Editor* **International Vegetarian Union News** Editor: [Paul Turner](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews/4367-members-council-paul-turner.html) - This email address is being protected from spambots.

The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly. Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value. - Hits: 1100 ## Schema ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu/hv-general-news-magazine.html?view=article&id=5476:news-2001-1-index&catid=224","url":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu/hv-general-news-magazine.html?view=article&id=5476:news-2001-1-index&catid=224","name":"IVU News, 2001","inLanguage":"en","isPartOf":[{"@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html#archive"},{"@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu/hv-general-news-magazine.html"}],"publisher":{"@id":"https://ivu.org/#organization"},"description":"IVU News 2001 Novajxleteroj - Boletines - Nyhetsbrev - Boletins - Bulletins - Rundschreiben - Buletine periodice - Novosti Deutsch - Italiano - Español Inside this issue Some items in this issue were…"}]} ``` ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://ivu.org" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "IVU", "item": "https://ivu.org/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Resources", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Interviews", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 5, "name": "History of the Vegetarian Societies", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 6, "name": "news", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 7, "name": "2001-1", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 8, "name": "IVU News, 2001", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews/5476-news-2001-1-index.html" } ] } ``` ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Article", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews/5476-news-2001-1-index.html" }, "headline": "IVU News, 2001", "description": "IVU News, 2001: IVU News 2001 Novajxleteroj - Boletines - Nyhetsbrev - Boletins - Bulletins - Rundschreiben - Buletine periodice - Novosti Deutsch - Italiano - Español Inside this issue Some items in this issue were already on the IVU website, and are linked.
