This will probably be my last response in this thread because 99% of this forum is fucking retarded and as always, completely unable to grasp the entire picture. I'm just repeating myself over and over to receive "lol tldr u mad?" responses from children. If you want to educate yourself about something, get off Project1999.
But, once again, you're being emotionally blackmailed on an issue. You keep repeating "BUT... BUT GMO IS BAD!" without actually responding to the points of Proposition 37 that are bad.
Here's the third time I'll say this: I am not against a larger amount of transparency on purchasable goods. I think most people can say the same thing.
However, the provisions of the bill are awful. You say "putting fucking GMO labels on the god damn food" like some magic label fairies are going to be placed around California to make sure this shit happens. Do you know who's responsible for "putting fucking GMO labels on the god damn food"? Hint: I've said it at least twice in this thread. Do you know exactly what needs to be labelled? Again, probably not. The proposition is so vague retailers would probably need to label everything, even animals bred via selective breeding, which is harmless "genetic modification" that's been going on for thousands of years.
The entire thing is a big business scare tactic and you're falling for it. Again, fortunately not the entirety of California fell for it.
If this passed, guess what would happen? Costs in local "mom and pop" shops would skyrocket, you'd buy more from Walmart or whatever giant, and those small businesses go out of business. And you probably wouldn't eat any differently.
If a similar bill popped up in my state (New York) which actually put the responsibility on the manufacturer instead of the retailer, actually gave a clear outline on what had to happen, and had sane limitations without driving up the costs of food, then sure, I'd probably vote for it. Prop 37 was not that. It was big business takeover veiled in phony science.
