This is the latest effort of the Nanny Left to tell us what to eat.

How is a label controlling what you eat? It's just informing you--you know, giving you a choice? What is the harm in that?

No, it is not informing you. Do you know what's in gasoline? All the surfactants, detergents and additives? Would it mean anything to you to know what they were? MTBE on the other hand...

The Prop 65 warning says its carcinogenic. This will work exactly the same way. It will treat big risks and pathetically minuscule risks exactly the same way: You'll get a label so ubiquitous that it will be meaningless. The label will render them indistinguishable, which is exactly what the bad guys of this world want.

There are harmless GMOs and then there are others that are truly questionable. Best we use ways to distinguish them such that their risks and benefits are weighed objectively. A market in information and risk management can do that. Government cannot. Hence, Prop 37 is the wrong tool for the job.

It hurts pepsi if you don’t want to drink their swill taste tested by aborted babies.
