Washing your hands after planting GMO seeds isn't to get the dirt off!
While the battle for GMO labeling heats up, we found this little story in the Santa Monica Community College newspaper that offers some basic insight into the measure. How do we know that we might want to consider a different approach than GMO? The article says it best – “In the field, GM has to be treated as a pesticide, because pesticide is built into it, so you have to wash your hands after planting the seed,” said King. “The plant itself is the pesticide so you wouldn’t want it on yourself, but at some point it’s harvested and, suddenly,… Read More

'No on 37' campaign continues to mislead-In case you missed it!
The latest salvo by the ‘no’ folks is a press release entitled ‘In case you missed it’ which states that 34 newspaper editorial staffs have come out against Prop 37. It suggests that we, the People, are missing something. REALLY?? I don’t think so. First off, 15 of those newspapers listed in the press release are owned by two media corporations, Media News Group and McClatchey Corp. Those aren’t 15 independent editorial boards, those are only two editorial boards with big advertising and corporate ties to many of big business supporters of the ‘no’ campaign. Here’s the link to the… Read More

Opposition forced to pull an ad due to misleading public!

Letters to the editor – UT San Diego Newspaper
Several major newspapers have come out against Prop 37 with their editorial staff. What I find amusing is how quickly the readers find the faults and inaccuracies of the Op/Ed stances. These are supposed to be journalists yet they use sources that turn out to be propaganda houses. Take a look at these letters to the editor:[link] California Voters – Please VOTE YES on Prop 37 this November

Who really should ‘fear’ Prop 37
Whose afraid of Prop 37?? Well it’s clear that Monsanto, Dow, and a few others are frightened to death. They’ve brought this upon themselves though, so we shouldn’t feel too bad for them. It’s great that leadership in some of these companies is old school and hasn’t yet learned their lessons from the tobacco industry. No way that negative information doesn’t leak out in this day and age. Thank you Google! Yahoo! Netscape! AOL! and all of the others. Add in Twitter and Facebook and we know almost instantly when these companies are trying to play games with us. It’s… Read More
Trying to understand what’s important about Prop 37
I’m voting YES on Prop 37. Am I biased working for a natural foods company? Probably yes, but not in the manner you might think. As anyone who knows me, I don’t just do something for the sake of doing something. Discerning fact from fiction in the genetically modified foods arena is difficult since research is truly limited, especially as it relates to human impacts. No, I’m biased because of my personal experiences with these foods and what has happened since I found ways to limit their intake in to my body. What is particularly relevant to me is that… Read More
