GLENDALE, Calif. (KABC) -- Proposition 37 is a measure to require mandatory labeling of genetically engineered food. There are two sides to this contentious issue.

Yeah billions are going to die because freedom loving Americans want to have a food label.
Why are you interfering in our politics? It’s not your country, not your state and not your business.
A bill in California is going to control the food supply in Australia! That is your justification for interfering in an election outside of your own country?
I’ve never heard such nonsense.
We have already established that you are not a big thinker and cannot connect global events. Your Marxists and Greenpeace friends from the USA, especially from California come over all the time to Oz and try to implement the same anti-GM, anti-capitalist, Marxist style of thinking and promoting the Green agenda. They have rallies many times. We really don’t need your Marxists anti-business, anti-science views and the passing of Prop 37 will only encourage your types to come over here even more times. Unfortunately, California has become so far to the left with mostly Marxist officials controlling the government, this Prop 37 will probably pass.
Such funny thoughts from a globalist interfereing in another country’s politics. Yet you claim to hate it when it happens to your country.
LOLOLOL
Citizens exercising their privilege to place an initiative on the ballot, and vote for adding an item to a label that ALREADY EXISTS on products they use really really scares you. The problems with GMOs must be much worse than people like you are letting on, otherwise sunshine on the genetic makeup of a food product wouldn’t be so terrifying to you.
Why don’t you just butt out and mind your own business? Write an initiative in your own country for GMOs. Wait-— you can’t do that there , can you.
LOL
Because I am having fun exposing people like yourself that have no background in science and biotechnology and who side with the Marxists, Greens and people like Barbara Boxer supporting Prop 37. It is pretty incredible that you side with 95% of the people who are so far to the left. What amazes me the most, is that you could get a lot of support if you would just make your posts on MoveOn...they will love you over there. By the way, I am still wondering if you also support banning GM enzymes used in the food industry in California? Why were these excluded from the bill?
Let me help you out.
I have many interests in this fight. The primary one is my own health and that of my children and grandchildren.
Substances that have unnatural DNA, if ingested, will produce cells in my body that have unnatural DNA; there is no way to avoid that, since the nuclei of our cells are fed by the nucleic acid in the substances that we eat.
My second interest in this is that some of my best clients are independant family farms that are presently being directly harmed by GMO crops that intrude into their lands.
This happens in several ways.
First, the GMO crops kill the bees that they must have to pollinate their trees and vines. Bee losses are becoming critical.
Second, the intrusion of the unnatural crops is nearly impossible to control since they are resistant to most commercially available herbicides (that is a major facet of those crops).
Third, and most outrageous, is that Monsanto is favored in the courts, and they actually bring suits against the victims of their invasive plants. Prop 37 will definitely fix this problem, by giving relief in California courts that is not presently available.
Family farms cannot survive without these protections.
You are not siding with those groups. You are taking a serious look at a proposition on the ballot and then thinking for yourself.
Politics sometimes makes strange bedfellows. They have their reason for supporting it - maybe whacked out liberal reasons - but you also have good reason to support it.
Do your research and make up your mind. But make up your mind on the issue not on who or who is not supporting it. Just opposing something because someone else supports it is being a mind numbed robot as Rush would say.
Since GMO crops, or anything containing them cannot be considered food, GMO labels are vital to health maintenance. They cannot be “meaningless,” they’ll save lives of the informed.
She is owned by those groups.
Do you also support the banning of GM enzymes and/or making them have labels placed on food that is processed with them in California?
>> “Exactly, some things, like sprouts, are very dangerous because of the growing conditions that support bacteria growth, no matter how careful you are in growing them” <<
.
This is a popular misconception.
Those bacteria are only harmful to those with abnormal body ecology. I am not suceptible to any kind of bacterial infection through ingestion, and in fact only a small minority of people are.

As I have stated, I have no interests in Monsanto, nor any other group associated with GM seeds, food, etc. Unlike yourself with interests in the anti-GM markets. It is amazing how many people are making billions of $ in the Green movement, organic foods, health products, alternative medicine and then claim other people have interests in the GM crops. The number of hypocrites on this issues is fantastic...but then again that is the heart of the elitist Marxist and Green movements.
I support informing the public.
GM substances do not belong in our food, nor in any phase of its production.
Its amazing how people live longer by avoiding non-food substances in their diet.
(I lied, its not amazing at all)
Hey, at least you are starting to admit you make money in the anti-GM movement. That is just a self-serving statement about family farms not surviving by being protected...interesting that you believe you can tell the family farmers what products they can use and not use. You don’t want to just have the product labeled, you want to ban the family farmer from using them. This is truly a Marxist mentality....government tells you how to run your business and your life.
That is the most scientifically ignorant comment I've seen on this forum in a long time.
Right up there with the-sun-revolves-around-the-earth crowd.
No, I don’t make a cent in the “anti-GM movement.”
It just happens that I survive by providing and engineering service to clients that have been harmed by the out of control GM industry.
