Why we say yes to Prop 37!

notableDoYouKnow

Edible Monterey Bay is one of more than 70 locally owned and run Edible magazines across the U.S. and Canada, and one of several in California.
.
Together, many of us have been speaking out in favor of Proposition 37, which would allow Californians to know whether or not the foods they purchase contain genetically modified organisms. This is because it would require producers and manufacturers to disclose on their labels that GMOs are contained in their products. Right now, producers and manufacturers that sell foods containing GMOs are not required to disclose it on their labels, and currently most sellers of GMO products choose to leave that fact out of their labels.
.
Read on for stories about GMOs, GMO labeling and Prop 37  from the Edible community and other sources—and be sure to vote “yes” to Prop 37 on Nov. 6!

See everything Edible Marin & Wine Country has said:

“It is estimated that at least 70% of the food products in America now contain GMOs.”- Summer 2011

“Today’s scientific evidence demonstrates that agroecological methods outperform the use of chemical fertilizers in boosting food production where the hungry live—especially in unfavorable environments.” –Fall 2011

“10 companies control over two-thirds of global seed sales. Just three—Monsanto, DuPont and Syngenta—own a combined total of close to 50% and they’re continuing to buy up smaller seed companies at a rapid pace.” –Winter 2011

“Until we have no doubt that GE crops are safe to eat, consumers should have a choice about whether we want to eat them.” –Spring 2012
