The opposition: WA I-522 Vote No Funders
Hover over a slice of the pie graph for details:*The Grocery Manufacturers Association includes these Companies: Safeway (O Organics), Starbucks, Target, Con-Agra (Alexia, Hunt's Organic and Natural Brands, Lightlife, Orville Redenbacher's Organic), Kellogg's (Kashi, Bear Naked, Gardenburger, Morningstar Farms), Unilever (Ben & Jerry's), Kraft (Boca Burgers), General Mills (Cascadian Farm, Larabar, Muir Glen), Hershey's (Dagoba,) Coca-Cola (Honest Tea, Odwalla), Dean Foods (Horizon Organic, Silk, White Wave), Pepsico (Naked Juice, Tostito's Organic, Tropicana Organic), Smucker's (R.W. Knudsen)
NOTE:
The
funny thing is, voting yes could work out to Monsanto's et al benefit.
They'll jump on board, saying "we're proud that this food contains GE
ingredients, which feed the world" or some other garbage.
Cigarette
warning labels didn't stop smoking, while I support GMO labels,
informed consumers already know. Uninformed consumers prefer
ignorance. Maybe some uninformed will take the time to read labels,
although that is insufficient knowledge.
Many "organic" trash foods
contain GMO, such as sugar (sugar beets) Canola oil etc....they just see
the word organic and don't pursue the ingredients any further. Plus
"natural" already allows HFCS etc....
We really live in a corporate ruled society where deception is critical for bottom lines.
People already have more power than the voting both, more power than any legislation. Just vote with each $$$ that they spend.
