There is a conflicting interest of municipal corps investments in transnationals they are supposed to regulate. Monsanto is a prime example. I am also curious why Monsanto has several registration listings with no expiration date listed.

Also, increased pesticide usage should not be ignored imo.

well said. DDT and other pesticides directly link to cancer. Its at a record high in US lately.

Yep, our health system is compromised. The tide is most certainly turning though.

Who would've thought General Mills would be offering GMO-free Cheerios a year or two ago?

Cheerios says no to Monsanto

If there is one thing these Conglomerates understand, it is profit and they cannot say no to a huge and growing market of Anti-GMOers.

have to wait 2 rep, heh yesterday they mentioned cereal sales are dismally low. LOL.

Really, why does say, Campbell's soup put soybean oil and cottonseed oil in simple chicken soup?. I would not give this to a person . Except for Amy's most soups are filled with gunk. reading all labels is quite and education. I wont even mention frozen foods that have 4 ingredient paragraphs of chemicals, lol.

Exactly. LABEL IT, let the consumer decide. We SHOULD have that right, to know exactly what we are buying/consuming/feeding our kids. Why are we letting these huge companies make guinea pigs out of us all??

Common sense and science won out over a bunch of loons. Too bad it took so much money to educate the voters.

25 million? thats all? Seems a little low for these folks. Somewhere a beancounter picked that number as being enough I imagine.

Hi Toyman, yeah 25 million to pay off California legislators. bfd.

Business as usual and CONSUMERS know better.

Do you have kids? or take care of a sick person? If so think twice before feeding them Round-Up.

Invest in chemical stocks and cancer stocks.

Both are being sold in the name of health and general welfare.
