Hot Gossip
Cruise Does Daddy Damage Control as Katie Introduces Discipline
During outings with Cruise on Tuesday and Wednesday, Suri sported the same orange dress and did the same defensive move of trying to hide her face from the photographic onslaught.
And before the cries of "leave this family alone" begin, try to keep in mind that after two decades in the public eye, Tom knows how to spend quality time with his kid out of the spotlight (after all, he managed to keep Suri completely under wraps for the first five months of her life).
But with his estranged missus winning the PR war with near-daily jaunts with Suri in recent weeks, damage control apparently must be done.
Another image-burnishing move: People's sympathetic "Tom's Shattered World" cover story, in which he's described as "sad" but not "bitter" over his "private pain."
"He didn't see huge cracks until it was too late," says a source. "He really thought he had the perfect thing going."
Speaking of the perfect thing, rumblings have already begun about Tom's future squeeze. Click on for more …

Ruth Rosen: What neither side wants to say is that this is a counter-reformation, an attempt to return women to the early 1960s, before birth control pill existed and the Supreme Court established the right of contraception in the United States.
Progressive Media Advocates
By Ruth Rosen
Treva Brandon Scharf: Confident people don't bash themselves; they don't let negative thinking and self-loathing screw up a good workout or undermine their progress.
Edward Wasserman: The larger question, to me, was less why she did what she did, but why everybody seemed to care so much, and why her case provoked so much anger.
ack in the late 1970s, my husband and I had recently married and purchased our first (and only) home.

With the rise of clubs like Webster Hall and Gramercy Theater, Irving Plaza has lost its monopoly on concerts by midsize touring bands. What to do? Rename itself! But nobody actually called the club Fillmore New York, so the name reverted to its original form.

The scary-looking "military style" AR-15 has been the target of the hyper-emotional left in the media ever since the Newtown shooting. Most notably, Piers Morgan tried to take conservative commentator and CNN contributor Dana Loesch to task for owing one. Last night, Dan Rather said on Morgan's show that,"there is no need to have these high-powered assault weapons."
But as it turns out, an AR-15 is an eminently sensible firearm for home defense, particularly for young women as Celia Bigelow and Aubrey Blankenship of American Majority Action explain in a January 23 piece at National Review Online:

"Temperature is an inaccurate marker of serious bacterial infection in children presenting to the emergency department with fever and reliance on magnitude of fever to guide further evaluation will result in misclassification of both serious bacterial infections and self-limiting illnesses," Sukanya De, MBBS, MD, PhD, of the University of Sydney, Australia, and colleagues wrote. "Low grade fever does not rule out serious bacterial infection at any age. Although high fever warrants careful evaluation, it does not per se rule in serious bacterial infection."

Reviews for Szimpla Gastro Bar
by Janine @ Temptation Cakes AKL

Great menu loads of choice took over half a hour to decide!!
Went for cauli cheese balls & pulled pork tacos both lovely.
Three soft shell real tacos yummmmm!
Main I had beef cheek AMAZING my partners lamb rack was odd in that it had a big joining bone at bottom of ribs never seen that before and was too rare he likes pink but was blue if you can do lamb blue.
We had creme brulee for dessert best I have ever had so highly recommend you leave room for dessert!
Well dine guys we will be back just that one issue with lamb rack,but great place, awesome staff and very impressive menu indeed.

Awesome atmosphere and great food. Been here for quite a few work lunches and dinners. This place is very accommodating for large groups. Have tried most of the things on the menu (including desserts) and they did not disappoint me. Pricing is reasonable and staff are extremely friendly. Just wish that they revise their menus more often.

Read the great reviews about this place and it didn't disappoint. Entrees, mains and desserts all amazing. We didn't book thinking "who needs to reserve on a Thursday night at the airport" but they were pretty packed and seated us no problems. Atmosphere was great and lots of options from the menu with friendly down-to-earth staff (nothing fake and put-on).

Amazing food!
I love the atmosphere at this restaurant, definitely dine in the garden section that is enclosed so you're out of the wind and rain. The staff are always so accommodating! I've dined here several times and will keep coming back for more.
From top to bottom, a main of lamb rump, entrée of seafood chowder with ciabatta, and pork belly.
So good! The lamb rump was an excellent portion and nicely balanced with generous servings of leafy vegetables, my pork belly was nice and tender but I wish that the skin would be crispy and crackly like but that's probably because I'm Asian and like my pork skin crackly haha.
SEAFOOD CHOWDER IS TO DIE FOR! Best seafood chowder I'll ever have! It's so good!! 😍 right amount of creaminess and very generous with seafood serving.
Very happy, well deserved 5 out of 5 for me 😁
Highly recommended and will definitely be back for more!

Another quirky, trendy Mac like bar. We've dined here as a party of 12 plus, for a few dinners as a party of 4 and a few brunches as a couple and these guys do their job well everytime. Their menu's standard pub grub though as as per most bars, a little pricey, but I always enjoy the food, coffee's nice and hot and there's nice big screens if you want to catch some sport and a nice little lounge area if you want to sit away from the crowd. The staff are always friendly, chatty and helpful and I happily tell others about SGB.

Visited with my wife and two friends, enticed to try as Szimpla were in the Entertainment Book. The food and staff were fine although the place was quite noisy.
However, when we went to pay our share of the bill ($194.40 for the four of us before discounts), I presented the Entertainment Book voucher which offered 'One complimentary MAIN COURSE when another MAIN COURSE of equal or greater value is purchased'. As I had the lamb @$32.90 and my wife had the salmon @ $32, we reasonably expected $32 to be deducted from the bill. No, they would only deduct $25.90 from our bill as their manager has ruled that, in such cases, they only deduct the cheapest meal purchasd on the table (one of our friends had purchased a $25.90 meal). Quite petty really!
Not only is this contrary to the offer made in the Entertainment book, it has had the opposite effect to the purpose of advertising in this book; to entice new customers to try their food and service and come back again - all for $6.10.

I came here midday on Friday for lunch with a group of 5. It was warm and cheerful with quirky decor. My friend went to order the chicken and the waiter advised her that it takes about 20 minutes for that dish and if she was happy for that, which we werent so really appreciated that attention to detail in his service. I had the thai beef salad which was delicious, the wonton crisps were fabulous! My friend has the beef burger which was huge! I thought there was a great variety to choose from with varying prices to suit all budgets. Can't wait to come again, glad it's a great local lunch spot!

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. It is HUGE inside and has a massive outdoor area which feels like a jungle - it's really nicely decorated and would be perfect for all sorts of parties or large lunches.
We came here while venturing out towards the airport and had seen that one of my friends had been here before and raved about it. The menu looked delicious so we were set. The restaurant itself was a little hard to find but we got there and there was plenty of parking as its in the hotel lobby.
I ordered their vege burger with chips and the hubby went for eggs benedict (as sadly they took of their French toast from the menu, hopefully not permanently)
My burger was insane, so big and incredibly filling, it was massive! There was a lot of flavour to the Kumara and coconut pattie and the onion relish was so so good. It could've been hotter as the pattie was warm when it arrived. The chips that came with the burger were so good. Really crispy and came with tomato sauce and mayo.
The eggs benedict disappeared quickly and had really nicely crisped bacon so it must've been good!
I would definitely come back here again for the food and the experience- it's just really cool. Would love to come with a group of people to really utilise their outdoor spaces.

Absolutely love this place! Have been here twice and the food is Devine. Had the pulled pork tacos and the cauliflower cheesy balls, both super delicious. Saw someone else's fish and chips which came out in a cute little news paper basket- very cleverly presented! Also has an interesting retro style and lots of cool old fashioned things to look at on the walls. Highly recommend!

Recently on my son's first birthday we decided to go out for lunch on my husband's lunch break and popped on to Zomato to check for places near his work. The menu of Szimpla caught our eye and the choice was made.
Tucked away in the bottom of the Ibis hotel, it's been cleverly designed to give little hint of the bustling commercial area around it. The bar has a delightful modern retro styling and multiple areas in which you can tuck yourself away - I can imagine it being a fantastic place for small events.
Service was quick and fantastic; we were offered a table and asked whether it was suitable, a high chair being being brought speedily and a kids' menu being proffered without request. The waitstaff seemed to run a cohesive ship, with us having a primary waitress by others being equally attentive. We had done a typical parenting fail in not bringing enough wipes to clean up our little chap. Imagine our surprise when without request a waiter arrived with a finger bowl and serviettes for us to finish the job. That enough would have been enough to keep us going back.
The food however also surpassed expectations - perfectly presented and deliciously blended. We enjoyed two types of sliders (pork/fish) and fresh pâté as shared plates. We were particularly pleased to see healthier options on the kids menu and so ordered our son his first kids meal of pita pizza and salad which he thoroughly enjoyed!
Such a hidden gem and so family friendly! We know where we'll be dining when in the area in future!

Been twice will leave it at ......that first time the meal was a decent size and tasty but the waitress threw tomato sauce over me (unintentionally... shoved a plate with condiments in front of my face and surprise surprise the tomato sauce went over my jeans / phone and the floor) second time the meal was tiny .. pork belly , really tasty but why did it need to be so small ??

A decent sized menu with some gourmet dishes, sides and entreés are priced quite highly however the mains are large so the value for money is good. Allow plenty of time to order, especially with larger groups as service can take awhile due to the size of the cafe. Great transition into a bar later in the afternoon.

Went here at 2pm on a Sunday. Hardly any people eating at the time, friendly staff. Took the order and out popped the yummy food 40 min later. normal town prices out at the airport which was good to see. We had the vege stack, Chicken and bacon burger, Thailand beef salad and nachos. Would come back if in the area for a meal.

Came here for brunch before a walk around the Otuataua Stonefields (a really nice walk with a help-yourself avocado grove). This place was in the Entertainment Book so was an easy choice. Lots of parking and a really nice interior. I had the big breakfast and it was okay. Nothing to rave about but nothing really to complain about either. I was a bit miffed that the sausage component in the big breakfast was half a sausage though! The brunch menu is pretty standard. They also offer an all-day menu as well and I wish I'd ordered something from that instead because I think they'd probably do that better. Coffee and service were fine.
I'd definitely be happy to try this place again but probably at lunch or dinner based on other reviews.
ADDENDUM: Went there for lunch and the food from the main menu was mega better than the brunch menu I'd previously experienced. I've increased my rating based on this fact. I'm not a vegetarian but I opted for the winter vegetable stack of mushroom, cauliflower, polenta and blue cheese croquette. It was served with a white sauce and was a real treat and very satisfying. It looked and felt like a very posh dish (that's a good thing) and not just some ill-considered vego filler to chuck on the menu.

Went here for my mothers surprise dinner and the seating we had reserved was awesome long stone table outside. I was concerned about it being a little chilly outside because we were in the middle of winter but actually the outdoor heating was perfect. Love the food presentation so unique must try their kumara and coconut soup and their burgers we'll actually everything we ordered was delicious, thanks for the great service.

I have visited Szimpla about 3 times, everytime amazing, excellent food, very yummy, great value, and food served with a twist of quirkiness, which is always great to mix things up a bit to make a change from the average eating place!! I would highly recommend!

Came to this place with work colleagues for a farewell lunch on Friday afternoon and was disappointed with the service we received from our server. I realise that it was a busy time of the day still did not think it was appropriate for our server to talk to some in our party the way she did. She was abrupt and did not listen to what was requested, such as no ice in the drink, this was ignored and a drink with ice was brought to the table. Also the rolling of her eyes at our request for other items was not appreciated. I thought that a business would try to be accommodating and welcoming to those who choose to part with their money at their establishment....just saying.
The food was enjoyable but the service was lacking. I will not dine there again.

Bit of a go to for work lunches. Atmosphere is kind of retro funky. Staff are always great and the food is above average (so are the prices but the food makes that acceptable). They have a standard menu with some nice variation on it so always something for everyone and something to try. Also do daily specials which are usually a bit different and represent good value. Never had a bad experience and had lots of great ones so a happy repeat customer.

I just needed a bit to eat after a day seeing clients and suppliers .... I didn't expect this? Service was great and the Moroccan Chicken sensational, along with a craft beers. I didn't plan on desert but wasn't disappointed with the summer crumble, thanks Szimpla!

Came here with my work colleagues for an end of year dinner. Had the Eye Fillet Steak with Potato Gratin Buttered Asparagus and Red Wine Jus and WOW i literally cleaned the plate up and I find myself craving it from time to time as it was just so yummy. Decor is fab, service with a smile! (heck id be smiling if i worked here too) I really enjoy the atmosphere here

Came here for dinner and to watch the rugby on Saturday night. The placed was packed but we managed to find a table with the help of a staff member. We found ordering difficult due to the obvious lack of staff, but once we had ordered and settled in we enjoyed the busy atmosphere of the place. Staff kindly changed two of the TV's to the game we wanted to watch. Food took a little while due to a large group but it was delicious - steak egg and chips for a hungover boyfriend went down a treat and my Morrocan Spiced Chicken was perfect, with the labneh being the stand out ingredient for me. Choc Brownie dessert was good. Only complaint for the night was not enough staff to give quick and efficient service. Would return.

Really cool quirky place! Had initial issues finding the place though. The service was fast, and the food was awesome! Love the deco and the presentation of it all! The vibe was good - considering I was with a large group, our waiter was patient and very kind! Will definitely go back again!

Great atmosphere, quirky setup. Awesome food! I asked to change certain things with my meal and they were more than happy with that (as most places I go, chef's are quiet resistant about these sorts of things).
Awesome service. The only thing I didn't like was the name.. I still don't know how to pronounce it!

Great atmosphere, excellent service and lovely food. This place has it all!!! Called in 20 minutes before closing and they kept the kitchen open just for us. Even though we were the last folks there they were never rushed or asked us to move along.
Had the vege burger as recommended. Never tasted one so nice !. Best part is they tell you that they do doggy bags and boy do you need 'em!!!
Couldn't recommend them enough.

We came here last night due to a flight cancellation & had booked to stay in the Ibis. What an extremely cool place - wickedly good service, good range of drinks - dangerously large glasses of wine & great food plus eclectic furniture like being at your Nanas front room surrounded by great plants. So damn good we are back here whilst waiting for the flight today. Oh & I am a huge NZ music fan & they play heaps of that - my pick for bar of the year.

My partner and I came for dinner as it's close to home. We have defiantly found a favourite!!! The staff were very inviting and we were seated quickly. I chose the cajun squid while my partner had the fish'n'chips. My squid was incredible, just the right amount of heat. Yum! My partner had problems with his, as it comes out in paper, looks cool but hard to eat, but they were very helpful in giving him a plate to eat on. We then had the passion fruit cheesecake for desert. Take about amazing! Best cheesecake I have had in a while! Thank you so much for giving us a great place to eat!

We had a girls weekend in Auckland and found this place while googling restaurants in the area. Went for dinner, and despite it being a 'pubby place', and 'pubby prices' the food certainly wasn't. All of our meals were delicious - obviously the chef knew exactly what they were doing. The service was good (not great) but no complaints there. We only had 2 nights in Auckland and it was unanimous to return for the following night also!

Had a few hours to kill while on a stop over and was looking for a few beers and a TV screen to watch the football. Expected a sterile, unfriendly airport bar. What I got was the best group of bar staff that, combined with a great layout and decor, created the best atmosphere I have experienced in any bar in a long time. Congrats to the owner for getting everything just right. The food was also great value. See you again on my next trip.

We took guests here for dinner based on the 5 star reviews, and we were disappointed. Ambience is nice, spacious and kind of unique. NZ draft beers were tasty. But the food was bland as. The bruschetta starter with blue cheese, cress, walnuts and honey had the tiniest dabs of blue cheese and cress. Gnocchi tasted like it was prepackaged and overcooked, served in a tasteless tomato sauce with very little cheese. Thai beef salad was drenched on soy sauce. Desserts tasted generic and also seemed to be pre-packaged. As convenient as this restaurant is to the airport, we won't be going back.

I arrived in at 8pm Friday night from a domestic flight and wanted to have dinner with my husband, who had kindly picked me up.
I don't know the area very well so searched a few places and found this place come up with great reviews on Menu Mania. Seemed like a great choice!
It was! We absolutely loved Szimpla and can't wait to find an excuse to be back out that way again to eat there. The staff were awesome, friendly and efficient. The vibe was great and the food - amazing!
We were trying to be semi good, so only ordered the calamari (truly tasty), the buffalo wings (so crispy) and a side salad (which had a really yummy dressing). We also indulged in a couple of drinks.
We had a really nice evening and can't wait to go back there and try all the other naughty stuff on there. The dessert menu looked divine!

Food here is good & the out door area is lovely
I had the burger. Where do they get their burger buns, because they're so good! That with the hand made pattie shows they're not churning out any pub style food. I'll be back!

This place is great! We had a full meal here last night (with older parents), but it would be good for a relaxed drink and nibbles too. NZ Bach style, with different sizes and styles of tables to choose from, inside and out. Mains and deserts were excellent, service great, prices surprisingly good. Highly recommended on all accounts. Check it out as still seems to be undiscovered. (Turn into where the airport's Warehouse & Countdown are)

I was invited to a dinner at Szimpla by a sister in law and after eating the delicious food and being served by some wonderful staff I took some friends along a week later and they also loved it. The atmosphere is cosy and the set up is great! Living only 15min away is a bonus because for our friends, family and ourselves Szimpla is now our local.

Used my menumania iPhone app to find this place before dropping off a passenger to the airport. What a choice place! Across the road from Countdown/Warehouse it looks a bit hidden, but inside is awesome. The garden bar like atmosphere and great seating makes it a nice place to chill out. Add some friendly staff and local brewed beer and it's pretty much heaven! Highly recommended for those waiting to pick up or drop off at the airport. Something to look forward to next time!

Came here to see some friends off and were greeted by the friendly, super chill staff. We ordered the chicken breast, a few burgers, garlic bread and a few drinks - all delicious, no faults, the chicken was tender and the burgers were generous portions, beautifully arranged. We had a few picky eaters at our table and their demands were met with a smile.
Despite the place being full of other big groups, the wait time for our orders was next to nothing.
The surroundings are relaxing and you almost forget that you're at the airport.
Really great place, hope to dine there again soon.

Great atmosphere and environment. I found myself spending a lot of time looking at the fantastic design and quirky touches in the bar (the library is a fave).
The meals are delicious and they definitely don't hold back on the portion sizes..and the dessert is delish, the sticky toffee pudding is my fave!
Fun, friendly staff who pour a great pint... thanks guys!

Mark had been feeling unusually thirsty for a few days. It was probably nothing, but he decided to see his M.D. anyway. And why not? There's no wait and no co-pay with Dr. Google. Within seconds, Mark had a diagnosis: diabetes. Or, wait, hyperthyroidism. Or kidney failure?! Now he really needed a drink. . . .
There's no Mark. But there are many guys who, like Mark, suffer from cyberchondria—anxiety about everyday symptoms that escalates after browsing the Web. "Commonly searched sites, like WebMD, often lack depth," says Kathryn Greene, Ph.D., a health communication professor at Rutgers University. "That can be okay for very general info. But if you're looking up, say, tingling hands, these sites can lead to very alarming perceptions."
It's time to stop scaring yourself sick. If the Web is a wilderness of health information, consider this story your compass.
Your laptop is missing more than a lab coat. "The Internet lacks the diagnostic reasoning that goes on in a doctor's head," says Eric Horvitz, M.D., Ph.D., a scientist at Microsoft Research. A search engine can't prioritize pages that will calm you down over those that will freak you out; in fact, panic-inducing articles often rank higher in Web searches. "There's more written about rare, scary things—such as headache as a sign of brain tumor—than common, boring things, like headache from caffeine withdrawal," says Dr. Horvitz. So. . .
Shift your browsing to Medline-Plus, a site sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. "Search engines with credible content curated by experts provide coverage that's more balanced than that of general search engines," says Dr. Horvitz. For example, type "chest pain" in MedlinePlus, and "heart attack" will be among the top results, but so will "heartburn" and "sore muscles." That matters, because the first information you encounter may strongly influence your self-diagnosis, says Virginia Kwan, Ph.D., a psychologist at Arizona State University. "It's tough to overcome your first impression. You may use whatever you read from that point on to support what you think you have."
If you're searching by symptom, don't just type in your current complaint. "Pay attention to preexisting problems too," says Greene. "If you know you have a family history of an illness or if you've always had, say, a slightly elevated heart rate, include that in your search." In this sense, the Internet is like an internist: The more information you can provide, the greater your odds of an accurate diagnosis.
Ask yourself: Do I want answers or just reassurance? "People often search the Internet to cope with fear," says Greene. This may lead you to draw serious conclusions based on general symptoms. Gain perspective by sharing your fears with a significant other or friend. In a new Hong Kong study, people were able to assess others' risk of serious conditions more accurately than their own. Still obsessing over imagined ills? Visit your doctor. "We see great disruption in some people's lives," says Dr. Horvitz. "It may be better to see a doctor early on than to continue engaging the Web with anxiety."
There are certain things you expect a doctor to write for you: prescriptions, a treatment plan, a note for your boss. But a blog? No way, says Greene. "Blogs aren't for reading about competing treatments, new drug trials, or even physician perceptions." What they are for is support for the emotional aspects of your diagnosis. "Does your doctor really understand what it's like to have your condition?" asks Edward Miller, Ph.D., a professor of public policy at the University of Massachusetts and coauthor of Digital Medicine. "Blogs provide access to other people who are experiencing what you're experiencing." Your three-step Rx:
The ideal blog is one written by a patient who's at least one step ahead of you in treatment. "This can give you a sense of what to expect next," says Miller. As Greene puts it, These are the people who can answer questions like, 'How is this going to affect my relationship with my wife? Will I still be able to play soccer with my kids?'" To find a relevant blog, search for your condition at google.com/blogsearch.
Once you start following a blog, don't hesitate to engage. Blogs give you the ability to share your experiences with others," says Miller. "That's cathartic and also very empowering." Research shows journaling can encourage people to take control of their own care, and interacting online may offer a similar benefit, say Tufts University researchers.
No matter how connected you eventually feel, remember that the blogger is neither your doctor nor your double; another person's experience will never be a perfect parallel to your own. Even if you share a condition with a blogger, certain details—other complicating health problems, for example—may make his or her treatment different from yours, warns Miller. "The only way to know for sure is to consult a medical professional. Blogs should be a complement to and not a substitute for your doctor."

Shedding light on the Spunta potato debate All transgenic crops must undergo a full safety assessment before they are approved for production in South Africa. The Agricultural Research Council's (ARC's) application to the Registrar of the GMO Act for general release approval for potato tuber moth (PTM) resistant potatoes is currently being processed. This application contains a full set of environmental, food and feed safety data that clearly show that the transgenic potatoes are as safe to grow and eat as conventional potatoes. This research was mainly performed at the ARC and Michigan State University (MSU) using international best practises and produced results of international standards. Safety to humans and the environment The submission provides experimental data which show that SpuntaG2 is as safe as conventional Spunta for planting and eating. These safety evaluations meet the international standards for environmental, food and feed safety testing. In particular: • The kanamycin antibiotic marker gene has been approved for food and feed use in 12 crops, including potato. Specialists have stated clearly that the use of this antibiotic marker gene in transgenic crops will not affect its use in clinics. • Sequence analysis and laboratory testing show no toxicity of the insect control protein to organisms other than the target pest. • SpuntaG2 potato nutrition and composition is the same as in the conventional variety. Sequence analysis and laboratory studies show no allergenic potential for the insect control protein. Impact on exports Standard cultivation practices for potatoes enable farmers to plant and harvest specific varieties without concern about pollen flow from adjacent crops. Farmers package potatoes on site for export and so do not need to be concerned about unintended mixing with transgenic varieties. • The ARC has investigated the potential impact on trade in response to concerns from a small group of commercial farmers who export potatoes to clients requesting non-GM produce. High adoption levels of transgenic maize, soybean and cotton have not affected exports of these commodities from South Africa and there is no evidence that this will be different for potatoes. For the small group of farmers profiting from non-GM export agreements, the regulatory officials have a mechanism in place to confirm that certain varieties of crops are not transgenic and this will be available to ensure that trade with conventional varieties is not interrupted. • Spunta is not an export cultivar in South Africa and commercial GM potatoes will not be grown for at least 4 years, giving the industry sufficient time to plan for this innovation. • Following approval of SpuntaG2, the ARC will work with biosafety focal points in SADC countries to enable them to make regulatory decisions about the use and import of GM potatoes in their own countries before commercial production begins. 1 Potato processing industry The potato food processing industry contracts farmers to supply specific cultivars and the approval of transgenic potatoes will not impact on this arrangement. Because pollen flow does not affect the genetics of potato harvests, farmers harvest what they plant. "Laboratory-made pesticide" Bt proteins are produced naturally all the time in concentrations far exceeding their levels in transgenic crops. Bt proteins have been a component of our diets for hundreds of years. Extensive studies of approved insect resistant crops for over a decade indicate that they provide environmentally friendly alternatives to chemical pesticide applications. Pest resistant crops have significantly reduced the application of pesticides in all countries where they have been adopted with considerable benefit to the environment and human health. Thus, these new technologies are proving to be an effective, sustainable and green technology for food production. Opposing safe, new technologies that are helping to feed the growing world population while, at the same time, decreasing the environmental impact of agriculture is shaky ground for an organisation claiming to uphold environmental protection. "Expensive patented technology" The moth resistant potatoes were developed with public money by public institutions on a not-for-profit basis. Using funding from USAID, the ARC partnered with MSU to develop the tuber moth resistant potatoes for inclusion in the ARC's potato improvement programme. The developers are negotiating with the patent holders for royalty free use of the technology. This way, corporations will not profit from the moth resistant potatoes and farmers will not have to pay more for the insect resistant trait. "Contaminate the continent" Potato plants are short-lived in Africa and are unable to establish themselves outside of cultivation so that farmers rely on a steady supply of healthy planting material to maintain potato production. South Africa has supplied this planting material to neighbouring countries for decades without causing "contamination". Environmental safety assessments indicate that SpuntaG2 will have no additional impact on growing environments other than its requirement for less pesticide treatments for potato tuber moth. • Independent market research shows a high acceptance rate for the new technology in both the US and Canada. Activists threatened to boycott food companies in an effort to undermine agricultural biotechnology. This economic threat forced food companies to revert to conventional potatoes at considerable cost to the farmers, consumers and environment. Consumers were not involved in this underhanded action. There is no evidence that consumers will stop buying potatoes once transgenic varieties are available for commercial production. • The adoption level of transgenic potatoes will be considerably lower than the current adoption levels of transgenic soybean, maize and cotton in South Africa. None of these transgenic crops have experienced a negative backlash from consumers in South Africa. 2 • The Minister of Agriculture and Land Affairs, Lulu Xingwana, called for the adoption of mechanisms to improve food production and reduce storage losses in order to address current food supply shortages. SpuntaG2 has the potential to address both these needs, especially for resource poor farmers. Preventing farmer access to improved varieties cannot be justified by fear of reduced consumer spending on potatoes. • Indonesia and Egypt have several times requested access to SpuntaG2 technology. • The unabashed claim of no consumer confidence in the safety of GM potatoes, when billions of people have safely used and relied on transgenic crops for many years, is unsubstantiated (?). • There are no scientifically defensible data supporting the claim that problems with Bt genes have included immune reactions, impacts on organ weight and function, and allergic reactions – this is a manipulated claim that has been carefully reviewed and rejected by regulatory agencies around the world. It is important that this new technology is not restrained on the basis of the untruthful and unsubstantiated claims of a vociferous minority with a vested interest in stalling the adoption of biotechnology. "Benefit is only for farmers" Moth resistant potatoes are protected from PTM in storage, enabling farmers to save healthy tubers for future planting, and to store harvested potatoes for food and feed use for their community with much greater success than conventional potatoes. Potato industry data indicate that moth damage is the third most common reason for downgrading of potatoes on fresh produce markets, accounting for 15 per cent of downgrading from July 2006 to June 2007. As such, the protection against PTM infestation in stored tubers will have a significant impact on food supply and profit from harvested potatoes. Labelling The ARC is committed to providing information to the public and believes it is in the interest of consumer choice and public awareness to encourage voluntary labeling of transgenic potatoes. They plan to label all transgenic planting material, to require seed potato producers to label transgenic planting material and to request farmers to declare the transgenic nature of GM potatoes sent to formal and informal markets. Mass communication will be used to raise general awareness levels about transgenic potatoes and their timeline for entry onto the South African market. Certification and Detection Discussions with Potato Certification Services are ongoing on certification of the GM potatoes. The ARC has a PCR detection system for SpuntaG2 and is developing an identity preservation test kit for field use that will be available before commercial production starts around 2011. Public consultation and awareness The ARC will continue consultations with consumers and the food industry in the years leading up to commercial production of transgenic potatoes in South Africa. In 3 communication to date, consumer representatives have indicated that they are unable to assess the technology and its value until they can review the safety data and the performance of the cultivar in farmers' fields. The general release approval will provide a safety risk assessment decision and will enable the ARC to undertake farmer participatory trials with SpuntaG2, which will help meet the needs identified by consumer organisations. The ARC has a communication plan that will be implemented once general release approval is obtained. The plan provides for information sharing with interested and affected stakeholders, the general public and regulators in neighbouring countries. Enabling smallholder farmers to evaluate SpuntaG2 Some commercial farmers are in favour of tuber moth resistant potato varieties and have expressed a wish to evaluate transgenic potatoes when these are available. Following general release approval, the ARC will enable interested smallholder farmers to evaluate the new technology. The potential benefits of the technology to improve potato production and reduce storage losses, especially in smallholder farming areas, do not justify the veto of this technology by some people who believe they will not benefit from it. 4
