calls for labeling of GMO's. Monsanto, DuPont, ConAgra and other have plunked down over $32 million to fight it. The "Yes on 37" campaign has raised a little over $4 million in small donations but there's lots of feet on the ground.

CA: "Yes on 37"

For more information, to volunteer, or to donate, here's the campaign's website:

and I am going to be a lot more careful than I have been. This is a very clear explanation of what happens to animals when exposed to GMO feed, workers who are directly exposed to the chemicals, and doctors speaking out about increases in almost every disease across the board. All reversed or improved by switching to NON GMO food.

I hope that what is happening in CA happens across the country.

Thank you Spec Tater!!

that the more we mess around with food, the more it is bad for us. It's almost like our bodies didn't evolve to handle all of this artificle crap that we consume...

If you want more ways to help (donations are of course always welcome as this is a very winnable race as the seat was held by a Democrat for 28 years) please PM me and I can help out

and had the thread locked by someone who declared it woo! I do not understand those on DU who would like to stop the flow of information. This is the sort of thing that should not remain hidden!

But then again, I saw a pro-Monsanto post on DU earlier today talking about how the anti-GMO folks are all lying. It takes all kinds I guess.

What the heck is wrong with people? How do so many get that we've been screwed by so many of the wealthiest people and large corporations and then defend the worst of them and what they do? We need to question everything.
