Monsanto is doing its absolute best to ensure that you do not know what you are putting into your mouth, now confirmed to have donated $4.2 million in an attempt to fight the California GMO labeling initiative that could very well put them out of business.
You see, if people actually knew that they were consuming genetically modified ingredients, they would stop buying the engineered products on a massive scale.
Monsanto simply cannot have that, which is why it is doing its best to squash any possibility of a successful labeling initiative (along with a conglomerate of corporate entities).
It is already well known that the general public is highly supportive of GMO labeling in general, with many polls finding that around 93% of the population is supportive of knowing what is in their food. Monsanto obviously does not care much about the general public, however, as exemplified by the company’s utter lack of concern over public health and baseline human rights. And if over 90% of support is not enough, then there is the Just Label it Campaign. While the actual end result of the mission is debatable, the massive support is not.
The GMO labeling campaign was backed by over 1 million signatures from around the country, all individuals who were seeking to help others learn what is in their pantry.
Whether its censoring research on their GM products, ignoring evidence that links the engineered crops to serious biological and environmental damage, or managing ‘slave-like’ workers on their corn fields for withheld pay, Monsanto has continually shown its true allegiance does not lie with the citizens of the world. The biotech giant has already made several moves to crush GMO labeling initiatives in the past.
Back in April following the announcement of a bill centered in Vermont known as the ‘VT Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act’ that would require the labeling of genetically modified ingredients, Monsanto threatened to sue the entire state in order to prevent its passing. As a result, the bill went on hold despite a majority (6 to 5) of Agriculture Committee members actually supporting the passage of the bill. Officials actually refused to take a vote. It sounds like mafia-styled intimidation, but it is actually just business as usual.
Instead of allowing Monsanto to win once more through intimidation and financial influence, vote “YES” on the 37 Right to Know California GMO labeling initiative.

if they like gmos so much why not put it on their products to brag about. That would be their best way to advertise itThen let the non GMO products do the same See who outsells the other
whats wrong with gmo. ?
What's wrong with gmo you say, yes indeed what is wrong. The stuff speaks for itself,literally....or so i've heard.
Bugs like it.......so whats the problemo.
There is NO NEED to label transgenetic contents in industrial foods !! So stop whining .....
IMPLEMENT AN ACO LABELING INSTEAD ;. ACO stands for Agriculture of Controled Origins .....
This labeling allows us French to distinguish the healthy foodss from the rest . There is also the Red labels that is a claim of high quality meats. There is a "BIO" labeling but it is largely abused ..........; is there such a thing in the USA ?
By agreeing or not caring about gmo, you are saying " monsanto you may alter my genetic makeup without me even knowing, even if it means the destruction of my genetic stream for good "
You'd better all move to the Netherlands. We have no fluoride in our drinking water supply and they label everything here including cosmetics ;-)
MONSANTO IS IN OUR POLITICIANS BACK POCKET.
Donated to who??????
"Dontated to Who?"
"Agribusiness giant Monsanto Co. donated more than $4.2 million to No on 37, a coalition of groups opposed to a California ballot measure that would require labels letting consumers know if foods are genetically modified."
