In what is perhaps the most significant breaking news we’ve heard on the GMO front in a long time, an effort has just been announced in California that seeks to gather enough signatures to put an historical initiative on the ballot which would require the labeling of GMOs in foods.

I interviewed Ronnie Cummins from the Organic Consumers Association (www.OrganicConsumers.org), who is a key leader in advocating mandatory GMO labeling. His organization is playing a significant role in helping to get this initiative on the ballot in California.

This is the pathway to victory against GMOs! With this initiative on the ballot, we have a very achievable strategy to deal adeath blow to GMOsand restore sanity and integrity to our seeds and food crops.

Highlights from the announcement for mandatory GMO labeling

• This labeling initiative is effectively a “ban” on GMOs, because most consumers simply won’t buy genetically engineered ingredients once they know they are present in conventional foods.

• GMOs are only continuing to be grown and sold today because consumers have been prevented from knowing about the GMO ingredients in their foods.

• 75% of all non-organic processed foods in grocery stores today contain genetically engineered ingredients.

• 90% – 95% of Americans want to know which foods contain GMOs.

• The GMO industry is already gearing up to fight this ballot initiative and plans to spread lies about GMOs such as “GMOs are necessary to feed the world” or “genetically engineered crops are perfectly safe!” (The quack scientists who push GMOs are no doubt gearing up to spread their lies and disinformation as part of the effort to confuse consumers and thereby protect their GMO profits.)

• This initiative, if approved, would force health food retailers like Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s to reformulate their own products and inventory to remove GMOs. “There’s gonna be panic in the boardrooms of Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s,” says Cummins.

• 700,000 signatures are needed in California to put this initiative on the ballot. This will require an army of volunteers with clipboards to gather the signatures. See below for how you can contribute to this effort.

• Go towww.OrganicConsumers.organd click on the “Millions Against Monsanto” campaign page to see where you can sign up to be a volunteer.

• Significant funding providers for this campaign include: Dr. Bronner’s – $1 million, Nature’s Path – $500k, Mercola.com – $500k, Organic Consumers Association – $250k and others.

Yeah, I agree everything should be labeled, including nuclear. So, what do we have here ? A ding in a dent. With all the nuke material around, you’re gonna get genetically altered everything before long.
*Over 100 requests and counting sent out so far since Friday* Available upon request: official, original, un-doctored BTS .zip files showing the 4 9-11 “hijacked” planes either did not exist or were used for other purposes this day; therefore, the “official” story crumbles. Send request to at4417 at yahoo dot com and then get them out to everyone, everywhere. “V” for Victory! Thanks.
xarmyguy needs to get a job then can afford a website for his amazing “new proof”.. troll spamming every article.

@Jeffy.. I do agree, almost everything is genetically altered these days, including humans before they are born.

When I read into bad things like cancer and diabetes I know more and more about modified unnatural foods are to blame. Cancer lives and breeds off fructose, sugars, etc. If you look at anything you are buying in a store, no matter how healthy the packaging makes it sound, I guarantee not all natural for sure and full of fructose.

Then you wonder why cancer rates rise, even as smokers decrease. Same with diabetes.. caused by the same thing except weight is also!

Every time you go to the store actually look at the ingredients. You will see “sugar” and “fructose” a lot!!!!!!!!!!!! HMM

All foods SHOULD BE labeled what is in them and including ALL meats which often do not tell you if organic. Don’t buy the largest chicken breasts just because bigger bang for the buck. You are only getting more hormones from the antibiotics they were fed and one day you become sick and antibiotics will not help you. Ask any Tyson chicken farmer.

Pay attention people.
