    Having lived in a country where GMOs are PROHIBITED and heavily processed foods are rarely consumed and/or manufactured, I can tell you this.

    YES ON PROP 37.

    DO NOT LET BIG AGRA TELL YOU LIES! DO NOT BE THEIR LAB RATS.

    To Mr Lightsey: with all due respect you need to properly inform yourself, ESPECIALLY since being a professor. Come on, really dude?

    This article is journalism at its worst – biased, incomplete, and inaccurate. Prop 37 has exemptions because California law requires voter initiatives be specific in scope. Other than studies produced by opponents of Prop 37, there is no evidence labeling GMO foods will cause a significant increase in food prices. There are no studies that prove GMO foods are safe. The increase in GMO crops has led to an increase in the use of herbicides, and recent studies show the development of herbicide-resistant “super weeds.” Fifty countries either ban the use of GMO ingredients or mandate labeling, including India and China. Also, the proposition was specifically written to avoid frivolous lawsuits like those spawned by Prop 65.

    The author of this article has either failed to adequately research the subject or is intentionally trying to deceive readers.
