Jan. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Bright Food Group Co., a Chinese food producer and distributor, offered cash to buy the sugar and renewable energy unit of CSR Ltd. to add to its dairy and juice interests.
Bright Food valued the unit at A$1.5 billion ($1.4 billion), the Shanghai-based company said in an e-mailed statement today. Shares in CSR, Australia’s biggest sugar refiner, rose as much as 8.4 percent.
CSR last year said it planned to spin off its sugar unit from its aluminum and building material operations by the end of March 31, taking advantage of rising prices and improving capital markets. Sugar futures in New York more than doubled in 2009 after excess rains in Brazil and a weak monsoon in India hurt output in the world’s two biggest cane growing countries.
Bright Food is keen to invest in the Australian food industry, particularly sugar, Vice President Ge Junjie said in the statement. The proposed acquisition was also in line with plans to build “resource-related businesses” including dairy, wine and nutrition products, Ge said.
Apparently, it is rather cheap and easy for food producers to get into nanotech, in contrast to genetic engineering, a surprising fact that leads me back to thought number one.
The unknown impacts of these micro-particles, however, leads toxicologist Dr. George Burdock of the Burdock Group to state that this technology has the potential to become "the new asbestos," which brings me back to thought number two.
Burdock says that food manufacturers are on the hook to test the safety of all the ingredients they use, even tiny ones. What we have to worry about is those companies that decide to put us all at risk by cutting corners. “Manufacturers have a moral and ethical responsibility to test," he said. "Eighty percent of people play by the rules but you still have the bottom feeders."
Dear, oh, dear. Friends, I fear 2010 is indeed the future. WTF?
