Prop 37 Carlsbad Volunteer Strategy Meeting -- 10/20/12 at Jimbo's, Naturally! Carlsbad
Nearly 50 countries require labels on Genetically Engineered food (GMOs), and many of these also have severe restrictions or bans against GMO food production or sale. Countries with mandatory labeling include Australia, China, Japan, New Zealand, Russia and all of the countries in the European Union. Some of the countries with severe restrictions or bans against GMO food production or sale are Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Ireland, the Philippines, Australia, Peru and Japan. What do they know that we don’t? The U.S. and Canada are two of the only developed nations in the world without GMO labeling (for political not scientific reasons). The biotech and food industry supports labeling of GMOs in other parts of the world but not in America. What are they hiding from us? We deserve to know and have the same level of protection and information as citizens in other nations around the world! **VOTE YES on PROP 37** to demand this right to know what’s in the food we buy in California. **[Proposition 37][1]** (The California Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act) is a common sense initiative that would require non exempt foods and beverages sold in California retail stores to be labeled if they are produced with Genetic Engineering or contain Genetically Engineered ingredients. The initiative simply requires that a notation be added either on the front or back package stating that the food is *"Partially Produced with Genetic Engineering"*, or *"May be Partially Produced with Genetic Engineering"*. For whole foods that are not packaged, such as sweet corn or fresh fish, store shelves would be required to post a sign or label stating the phrase *"Genetically Engineered"*. In addition to this disclosure, Genetically Engineered foods would be prohibited from being advertised as ‘Natural’. This makes sense since Genetically Engineered food by definition of their creators is not natural. Packaged foods already have labels showing nutrition, allergy information and other facts consumers want to know. Contrary to the misrepresentations of our greedy corporate opponents, **Prop 37** is easy to comply with and does not create new bureaucracies, force manufactures to change ingredients or ban the use of genetic engineering. Independent, unbiased studies show **Prop 37** will not add cost to farmers, manufacturers or consumers. Don’t believe the crafty deception from Monsanto and the other chemical and junk food companies . . . get the **[facts about Prop 37][3]** and [**read the proposed law**][2] yourself. It’s simple . . . You have a Right To Know what’s in your food!

Prop 37 Ocean Beach Volunteer Meeting -- 10/18/12 at Ocean Beach People's Organic Food Market & Deli
The most common Genetically Engineered crops are Corn, Soy, Canola, Sugar Beets, Cotton, Hawaiian Papaya, Alfalfa, and Squash (zucchini and yellow). However GMOs are also processed into common food ingredients such as: Amino Acids, Aspartame, Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Ascorbate, Vitamin C, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Flavorings (“natural” and “artificial”), High Fructose Corn Syrup, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, Lactic Acid, Maltodextrins, Molasses, Monosodium Glutamate, Sucrose, Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP), Xanthan Gum, Vitamins and Yeast Products. **[Proposition 37][3]** will make it easier for consumers to know if the food they buy contains GMOs without having to make sense of a long list of unfamiliar ingredients. The founder of PROP 37, a Grandmother from Chico, is joined by thousands of Californian citizens fighting for honesty and transparency in our food supply. Unlike the multinational corporate opponents of PROP 37, who fear loss of profits from the rejection of their never proven safe GMOs, we have nothing to financially gain or loose by the outcome of PROP 37. Join us in the fight for our right to know what’s in the food we’re eating and feeding to our families . . . we deserve to be able to make a fully informed choice about what we eat!
