We’ve just received some exciting news from our friends at the Organic Consumers Fund. They have undertaken a campaign to make it the law to label genetically modified organis (GMOs).

For years American families have been unwittingly consuming GMO foods because unlike many countries around the globe, no labeling is required, even though there is scientific evidence that GMOs pose a threat to the health of people and the environment. Contamination of farm fields by by gmo seeds blowing in the wind may be the greatest threat to organic farming in the U.S. today.

Here’s what we’ve learned from our friends at Organic Consuners Fund:

• California is poised to be the first state with mandatory GMO labeling laws through the 2012 California Ballot Initiative process.

• Polls show support to get this initiative on the ballot & voted in. Over 80% of those polled supported mandatory labeling.

• A win for the California Initiative would be a huge blow to biotech and a huge victory for food activists.

• Monsanto and their minions have billions invested in GMOs and they are willing to spend millions to defeat this initiative.

• California is the 8th largest economy in the world. Labeling laws in CA will effect packaging and ingredient decisions nation-wide.

• The bill has been carefully written to ensure that it will not increase costs to consumers or producers.

Have you heard the saying, "As California goes, so goes the nation?" California has the biggest economy in the country and a win in CA would be a huge blow to biotech and a huge victory for food activists everywhere.
