We’re planting more than 160 million acres (roughly the size of Texas) of GM (genetically-modified) crops each year in America. In 2011, major commodity crops such as corn, cotton, canola and soybeans are now 90 percent genetically-modified. Those numbers are increasing while more than 50 countries across the globe have banned GMOs altogether or at least require labeling.
The State of California has the opportunity to be America’s genuine leader in this fight. They will potentially have the right for people to vote for labeling on the November, 2012 ballot. Californians need to continue to apply this pressure and gather signatures for this initiative. Please support the California Labeling Ballot. Click here to find out more.
This is a huge battle in the fight against GMOs. If California is able to push this through into law, it will help swing the momentum in a very positive direction in this country. It is a win-win for everyone…unless you work for Monsanto or other GM food corporations.
