Ugh...Monsanto spent twenty-six million dollars well enough to defeat the GMO food labeling initiative here in California. They paid off every politician in the state to go on television and complain that the proposition was flawed and sure to bring death and destruction onto the heads of every person in the state. Even Diane "time to move on to a younger set of Dems" Feinsten was against the bill.
All we wanted was for food made with genetically-modified organisms to be labeled as such.
Gloom and doom was to be our lot if it passed. All that processed garbage that sells crazy well in this state (and everywhere else) would have to be labeled.
Did you know that corn is technically listed as a pesticide by the FDA? Corn is officially a pesticide, and it's in nearly every single edible thing on the market, and if that edible thing is processed, it most assuredly has corn present.
Oh well. Times are changing. Labels will one day be labeled as they should be. If Washington and Colorado can decrim pot and Maryland joining the ranks of states that recognize rights of folks with the same plumbing wanting to call themselves "married", then someday we'll get where we we need to be.
Stupid scary Monsanto.
