Monsanto FLIP FLOP – supported GMO labeling in Europe but against in California
Why would a company that is so sure of it’s products be afraid of PROP 37? Doesn’t make sense, does it? Makes me wonder what they want to hide…
Take a look at this story which outlines Monsanto’s efforts outside the USA to support labeling. If Monsanto is truly unafraid of their products, then it’s time for them to stick to their original stance and support labeling. http://www.triplepundit.com/2012/09/monsanto-gmo-food-labeling-before-against/
California Voters – Please VOTE YES on Prop 37 this November.
A measure for the People and By the People – Prop 37
We found this well written story in the Record Searchlight of Redding. The author, Trudi Pratt, provides a clear and concise piece on this important measure and the fight that’s ahead. What is most poignant is that 9 of 10 Californians want to know what’s in their food.

Corporate Doublespeak – Nestle supports GMO labeling EXCEPT in California – FACT
“We have a very simple way of looking at GM: listen to what the
consumer wants. If they don’t want it in products, you don’t put it in
them,” said Hans Jor, corporate head of sustainable agriculture at Nestle, according to Food Production Daily.
This is Nestle’s public stance, yet they’ve just donated $1.16 Million to the opponents of Prop 37. Confused yet??? This is also what Mr. Jor said, “genetically modified food is unnecessary to feed the world and the food
industry would reap more benefits from using resources more sustainably
and employing other techniques.”

See the latest PROP 37 ad and share with others
Two of the largest contributors to the opposition of Prop 37 are Monsanto and DuPont. Now why wouldn’t they want you to know what is in your food??? Could it be that they are chemical companies??? Those same ‘safe’ chemicals that have poisoned our bodies, environments, and negatively impacted our food chain. Let’s hear the facts:

Confused by the GMO rhetoric?? Here’s the truths and myths of GMO’s.
We’re getting bombarded by disinformation in the news as pushed by the opponents of Prop 37. This is what we expected and why we’re working so hard to give you accurate information to help you decide what makes the most sense for you and your family. Just today our local paper, The Santa Cruz Sentinel, published a story on a recent Stanford University study, that discussed the nutritional differences in conventional foods versus organic foods. How is that related to Prop 37? The answer to that question is – It’s NOT. It’s another attempt at confusing the issue and it’s disappointing that this study was released at this time. Prop 37 is not about the differences in the nutritional values of Organic versus Conventional foods. It’s about labeling and providing the consumer the information of whether or not the foods we are buying contain GMO ingredients. The use of non GMO seeds to grow crops conventionally or organically would be a farming decision and provide an apples to apples comparison to the nutritional concerns that are referenced in that Stanford study. However, the real concerns are those of using GMO crops and their impact in the body as well as the surrounding environment.
Please take a look at the GMO myths and truths document that we have in PDF format below. It’s one of the best written and explanatory papers on the dangers of GMO’s. It’s information that you’ll want to share with anyone you care about.
As always, we appreciate your support of our business’ Mission and Philosophy.
Please VOTE YES on PROP 37 this November.
Monsanto, DuPont Spending Millions to Oppose California’s GMO Labeling Law
This story from Forbes Magazine is one of the best written and unbiased regarding the proposed Prop 37. By educating yourself on this issue and being objective we’re confident that you’ll be in agreement that this measure is in the best interests of the People. Take a look at the comments by various individuals following the story. We can’t say it any better than most of these folks. We just want to be able to determine what’s in our food. That’s all! That’s what this Proposition does. Do not be mislead by the propaganda. As a food company subject to these proposed rules, we agree with the majority of people that this is right. How could we not??
