kNOw GMOs - Voting YES for Proposition 37
November 6, 2012
Monsanto, DuPont, and other Biotech and Agribusiness giants have poured tens of millions of dollars into an advertising campaign against Proposition 37. It's vital that we counter them with the power of the grassroots!
For the past 20 years, Americans have been denied their right to know what's in their food. Proposition 37, the California Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act, will require genetically engineered foods to be labeled when sold in California. The effects will be felt throughout the U.S. [Short video with Spanish speaker - English version]

Polls show that Americans remain unaware that GMOs are in more than 70 percent of foods.
-- 50 countries require clear labeling of all GMOs
-- The current U.S. food safety czar is a former Monsanto vice president
-- About 90% of all GM seeds patents are controlled by Monsanto
-- GM patents prevent independent safety testing or investigation
Americans need to know that GMOs are unregulated by the FDA. The same corporations that told us that Agent Orange, DDT, and PCBs were safe, can determine on their own whether their GMOs are safe.
We are deeply grateful to Nutiva, Bragg Live Food Products, Kamut, Frey Vineyards, Organic Pastures Dairy, CA, EO Products, Berlin Natural Bakery and Sacramento Label GMOs Volunteer -- Leo Younger -- for their generosity in sponsoring the film through October.During the first free showing week in September, there were over 1.25 million views of this astounding documentary featuring testimony from healthcare practitioners, scientists, veterinarians, parents, and others about the health risks of genetically modified foods, and amazing health recoveries from switching to a non-GMO diet. The response has been incredible!
In the remaining critical days before the election, the vital information in this documentary is extremely important to voters in California who are facing a barrage of misdirection from the biotech industry to influence their choice on Prop 37 for labeling of GMO food.
