Controversial Californian Proposition 37 test case on GM labeling defeated.

Prop 37 was an important landmark test case in United States and beyond concerning the possibility of food producing companies labeling and declaring what food products contain genetically modified ingredients.

Supporters rightly argued the consumers have a right to know if they are eating GM foods. Opponents overwhelmingly corporations such as Monsanto, Dupont, Pepsico and Nestle say the labels would be burdensome to retailers, and would force prices to rise.

The bill was defeated which means that corporations are now not required in future to label any of their toxic food products. Only just weeks ago it was scientifically proven that rats fed on GM corn products developed large cancerous tumors.

To be honest I don't think Obama could give two sh*ths about GM labeling and the peoples right to know whats contained in their products.



Concerned private individuals and foundations donated just $7,300,000 to support the bill.

Multinational food corporations spent $45m to defeat California GM label bill. Much of this money was spent on false advertising and main stream media bribes.

All is not lost over this defeat, the bill itself has brought an awareness on the subject and no doubt this will be challenged again in other states and countries across the globe.

Below is a lost of companies in favor of poisoning your food and their contributions towards fighting the bill. People can now avoid these products when they see them on their supermarket shelves.
