>     *PLEASE **BUY ONLY BIRDSEYE AND EDGELL*
>
>
>     Think about this and circulate to your family and friends:
>
>     The ONLY Australian manufacturer of frozen Australian grown
>     vegetables (Simplot Australia)_is not far from closing_ because a
>     number of the other well-known Australian brands have moved their
>     plants to New Zealand in order to capture the Chinese vegetable
>     market where they market via New Zealand to Australian tables
>     (without the food being labelled specifically as Chinese) and
>     Simplot is finding it hard to compete.
>
>     This was shown on the program Landline on the ABC
>
>     SHOULD SIMPLOT CLOSE, THIS MEANS THAT NO AUSTRALIAN GROWNFROZEN
>     VEGETABLES WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ALL AND WE WILL BE RELYING ON FOOD
>     GROWN TOTALLY OUTSIDE AUSTRALIA.
>
>     For a number of reasons this is not a good situation.
>
>     1. As most people know, other countries do not necessarily have
>     the strict guidelines for growing their vegetables that Australia
>     has and by buying Australian we can be sure that lethal chemicals
>     that may be used in other countries will not be used on Australian
>     vegetables.
>
>     2. We would be losing Australians jobs.
>
>     3. If ever the world became unstable regarding wartime we would
>     not be able to feed ourselves
>
>     It is imperative that we all support these Australian brands
>     selling good Australian vegetable products (via Simplot): Birdseye
>     and Edgell.
>
>     *Next time you shop, please think about the future of Australian
>     food.*
>
>     What do you reckon folks? *_Let’s buy Birdseye and Edgell_. _
>     _*
>     Some of us love our designer labels.  We buy premium brand shoes,
>     premium brand clothing and well known premium perfumes and handbags.
>     BUT ... we also look buy the cheapest food we can for our children
>     to eat.  That doesn't make sense.
>
>     This is so true.   The farmers in Tasmania are extremely worried
>     about Simplot's impending closure. They also have a lone food
>     processing plant in Bathurst subjected to the same uncertainty.
>
>     If these last remaining plants close, it means that _China then
>     has total control over our fresh/frozen vegie industry._
>
>     *It is particularly disturbing to see that Chinese-grown
>     vegetables are coming in _branded as a product of New Zealand_.*
>     *_
>     _**PLEASE PASS THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN*
>     *DON'T BITCH LATER ON WHEN ALL FOOD IS HALAL, IMPORTED AND
>     EXPENSIVE JUST BECAUSE YOU SAVED A FEW CENTS BUYING THE CHEAPER
>     BRAND TODAY AND HELPED TO CLOSE DOWN AUSTRALIAN COMPANIES...*
