Update on Prop 37

Whatever happened to California's Proposition 37, you ask? Will we, the consumers of food stuffs and such, now be able to see GMOs labeled? Well, short answer: no.

The good-food movement appears to have suffered a big loss in California. It looks like voters have rejected Prop 37, which would have required genetically modified foods to be labeled as such. You might think such an initiative sounds like good common sense, and so did most California voters — until Monsanto, Dupont, Pepsi, and their Big Food pals poured $46 million into the anti-37 campaign and swamped the airwaves with fearmongering ads. Because labels are scary, and GMOs are not — right?
