California GMO Bill Is Top Priority for GMA

Genetically Modified Food is not safe! Look at what the food does to the animals and insects that eat it! I recently traveled to Hershey Pennsylvania and saw the Hershey plant. I am extremely disappointed that Hershey CEO is involved in campaign to vote against Proposition 37. I am definitely boycotting all Hershey products From here on out. Wow, I think about the Hershey 'Tour' and how 'pure' and 'unique' the cocoa bean mix was. Who knew 'unique' may mean genetically modified.

I personally have a story of recovery that includes eliminating genetically modified food to recover my health. I do not eat processed food or fast food since GMO's are in so many of them.

Shame on all of you who are against this bill! You say that GMO's are safe yet hundreds of independent studies prove otherwise! Your focus is on your profits and NOT in consumer safety. This bill is a no brainier when you consider the public good.

Shame on all of you who are against this bill.

I support the young lady, Steffanie, who writes "shame on you".
1st, we yell, generally speaking, allow us to police ourselves,
Then, when we have the opportunity to do so,
Then, the practice is "come and get us".

A simple modification to go forward with compliance with Prop 37 should be all you need, really.

I still want to know under who's watch did we ever vote to feed growth hormones to our animals!

Anything made by men, preserved, & packaged is harmful. Period.
To what degree, then, is the question?
Now, we have before us Prop 37, an attempt to serve humanity, & bam
It's too painful, it's too responsible, it's too good.

You see there's nothing wrong, really, with the intended purpose of Prop 37,
It's just that courage, social responsibility, leadership, doing the right thing, & the Golden Rule went out the window a long time ago.

Then, watch this, the people deterioration trickles down to the retail level & contaminates the souls there.

Let's get with it, America.

Shame on you,
Best Regards, & I hope wisdom & social responsibility comes to you all at GMA, this Christmas.

bravo Stephanie!

This is pathetic. The food industry is destroying what little credibility they have left with the American people.

GMO foods are not safe. As a graduate student in nutrition with an interest in GMOs, animal studies have demonstrated the destruction of intestinal health, organ failure, altered lipid metabolism, and even death in the species that consume GMOs. Steffanie is right when she refers to the insects that eat these GM tainted crops. These pests die a slow and agonizing death, insofar as the the crystallized gene protein from the GM process destroys their intestinal ability to digest food. They literally starve. As we have seen in the 15 years since the introduction of GM foods, the health of the broader US public - and even internationally - has declined dramatically. You see the rise in pro-biotic foods to help humans recover from the damage done to their intestines by GM foods. Additionally, the rise of Lipitor and other pharmaceuticals since the intro of GM foods has been staggering. It is now a billion dollar business. Last but certainly not least is the effect on the ecosystem. Ridding these pests will wreck havoc on the predators of those insects, not to mention the advent of superweeds and the dangerous soil reconstitution taking place. Anyone against Prop37 is clearly uneducated. The research should speak for itself, plain and simple! I hope California residents educate themselves and set the harsh tone for GMOs in the future! Enough is enough!
