Dr. Shiv Chopra's name has become synonymous with food safety. Over three decades, Dr. Chopra and his colleagues refused to approve various harmful drugs, such as Bovine Growth Hormone and other pesticides, to be used in meat and milk production. Holding fast to sound scientific conclusions, they opposed a series of prime ministers & Health Canada ministers who had little or no regard for public safety. They defied gag orders, spoke publicly to the media and testified at many senate and parliamentary committees. Time and again, the courts supported Dr. Chopra and his fellow scientists and ruled against government attempts to shut them up. Also, time and time again, the government overruled these scientists for the benefit of corporations, the public good be damned, and allowed dangerous drugs & agricultural practices, and pesticides to enter the food supply. Dr. Chopra & his colleagues opposed dangerous antibiotics such as Baytril, Revalor-H, and silicon breast implants. He fought against the totally avoidable sources of Mad Cow Disease, and warned about the myth of safe and effective vaccines. Come and listen Dr. Chopra's powerful account of how the government is betraying its citizens in favour of profits for corporations. It is an explosive political revelation, which is bound to shock people out of their complacency. Everybody who eats should attend this talk!
