Australian food icon Margaret Fulton was making breakfast one morning when she realised that the porridge and milk she was using could contain genetically modified ingredients.

Under existing labeling laws, she would never have known."I'm worried about our food heritage, says Margaret, "That's why I contacted Greenpeace."

"Genetically engineered (GE) food threatens everything I stand for," says Margaret.

"There is enough evidence to tell us that GE food is not a good idea. It is time for Australians to let food companies know we do not want to eat food that has been tampered with."

The author of 19 best-selling cookbooks published over the past 50 years, Margaret also opened a range of food stores called Margaret Fulton's Kitchen in August 2003. But she still took time from her busy schedule to help launch the second edition of Greenpeace's True Food Guide in September, 2003.

"The True Food Guide will be our reference to what is safe to eat – not only for us, but for our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren," Margaret said at the launch. Margaret's support for the campaign continues.

In April 2004, when the Rainbow Warrior sailed into Sydney with "The Future is GE-Free" emblazoned on her sails, Margaret was there to welcome the ship.
