The following advertisement is from the UK and produced by Monsanto regarding labeling requirements now required –

“Recently you may have noticed a label appearing… to

inform you about the use of biotechnology in food. Monsanto fully

supports UK food manufacturers and retailers in their introduction of

these labels. We believe you should be aware of all the facts before

making a purchase.”

Exactly what is going on then in California?   The lack of ethics exhibited by that company is absolutely amazing…and they want us to trust them?  How?

No matter what rhetoric you are being fed over the airways, on television, in print, please do not let yourself be fooled.   All we’re asking for is labeling so we can choose to buy foods that are GM or not.   This November, please VOTE YES on Prop 37.

Take a look at this article which details the misconceptions and outright deception the ‘no’ group is using to try and mislead you. PROP 37 deserves your YES VOTE.

It’s clear how it works.  If you wave enough money around, you can skirt the facts to try and sway public opinion.  The opponents of Prop 37 have this history and it’s clear they have no ethics.  Can people really live with themselves when they sell the human race short in order to make money??  It’s not a rational trade and it’s disappointing.  Let’s not let fear and lies get in the way of providing a simple way for people to choose the foods they want to eat.  Let’s label our foods correctly!  Please VOTE YES on 37!

California Voters – You have an unprecedented chance to take control of your health by ensuring that you know what is in your foods.  In doing so, you will provide the impetus for additional human trials/long term studies for GM foods and, in the mean time, be able to determine what foods contain GM foods so that you have the ability to choose whether or not to buy them.  On November 6, 2012 please take the time to VOTE YES on 37 to ensure we all have this choice.

Here’s a good story from foodpolitics.com – http://www.foodpolitics.com/2012/10/pro-proposition-37-forces-are-getting-busy/

Please VOTE YES on 37 this November.

What I can’t figure out is how anyone can make out Prop 37 as

‘anti-science’?   IF the scientific data presented by Monsanto, Dow, and

DuPont was ‘actual and rigorous’ science then most of us having issues

with GM foods either wouldn’t ( because the foods are actually safe ) or

would ( because the foods aren’t safe ).  The fact is simply that the

‘science’ produced by these companies does not meet basic standards for

controls; is not independently funded.  No controls and self funded? 

That’s not science.

Therefore, being against PROP 37 isn’t

anti-science whatsoever.   What we want is labeling!!  Prove to us with

unbiased research that GM foods are safe for me to consume, safe for the

environment, and unquestionably more sustainable than conventional and

organic methods then I’m willing to trust the ‘science’.  Without this

assurance, we can only assume that these companies are more interested

in their profits than the health and wellness of the individual

consuming their products.

PLEASE VOTE YES on Prop 37 this November

The day is fast approaching! November 6 is three weeks away and it’s time to engage our neighbors and spread the word about the need for food labeling and the passage of PROP 37. Let’s not let the chemical companies control our foods. Please VOTE YES on 37. Here’s another good article on the ‘people’s food revolution’ – http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dave-murphy/california-prop-37_b_1956471.html

This week is National Bulk Foods Week.  Please visit your local grocer and see what they are doing to celebrate.  If your grocer doesn’t have a bulk section, have them visit our site or the Bulk is Green Council to find out how to include bulk food sets for their customers.  See the ‘bulk sets’ slide show here – http://www.bulkisgreen.org/photo-slideshow.aspx

The power of advertising has shown itself.  Since Monsanto, DuPont, and Dow, can’t provide factual evidence of the safety of their GM efforts they continue to pound the airwaves with inaccuracies and misrepresentations.  Even some newspapers, whose editorials had come out against Prop 37 called out the ‘No’ campaign for their lies.  Shouldn’t that be enough to realize that if these companies are willing to spend money to lie to you that you can’t trust them??  How could you vote any other way but YES on 37??  Let’s not let this continue as we have a choice this November.  YES ON 37!
