California PROP 37

7 five stars and no pins?

MODERATORS.... HELLLLOOOOOOOOOO?

Yay, Prop 37! I hope this is going to be a huge victory for anti-GMO forces!

I definately voted yes for this.

OK, this is an important issue. How many of you have pinned this?

I wanna know if GLP moderators are DOING THEIR JOB.

I can't wait to see what the new GMO logo looks like. I hope its a skull and cross bones, or maybe an orange bio-hazard sign...

Prop 37 is very important. My kid is a molecular biologist and genetic engineer and is now an Osteopathic doctor. She cried to me after graduating from college as a genetic engineer, that she could not go into this field because it would destroy our planet. She was taught that is was just about re-arranged protean... but it is a lie. GMO is deadly to us. My child saw that as a student, and re directed her career. We need to get the word out that GMO means sterilization and death to humans and animals who eat it.

If this stuff was so good for us, Wouldn't Monsanto want to brag on it instead of trying to hide it?

I'm in Michigan but have been following this one closely for the past few months in hopes it passes and opens the door. I too can't find any updates/exit polls online. I just knew if I came to GLP I'd find someone talking or reporting on it.

So I'll keep checking in here tonight. Good luck!

I clicked the pin button. Because I am curious as to if it passes or not and this is the only thread on the pass or fail of prop 37. I also gave it 5*s.

Maybe the title should be diff.

I voted for it.

But you know, there are always the dumb asses who will say no to anything that is going to cost the state money, regardless of the benefits.

I certainly want to know when there is GMO in my foods. But maybe not enough people are educated as to what that actually is.

Wow, this thread is dying.
No wonder.
Monsanto and GLP moderators pushing it downward with complete silence.

Bump for pin

Not enough people can afford to go to school, and when they do they are thought by incompetent people. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO EDUCATE YOUR KIDS.

That's a huge problem. Some of the "no" propaganda I read said that we have been genetically engineering food since agriculture began. This is absolutely not true! That statement implies that hybridization is equivalent to genetic engineering, which is completely wrong. Hybridization = cross-breeding within a species; GE = cross-breeding between species, chemicals, pesticides, etc.

So many people feel so passionately about this bill that I think it will pass. I have 2 friends who live in California, and I texted them and let them know about this bill and how important it is. They didn't care about it before I talked to them, but afterwards, they ended up voting for it. I'm sure that has happened to many people. This is one of those bills that people will spread the word about to their friends and family in Cali. People can say what they want about California but at least the people are health conscious, which is a nice change from most of the country.

I think the only people that voted "no" are poor people that think their grocery bill is going to go up. They would rather buy cheap poison food than eat healthy. Fortunately I think they are to few and far between to stop this prop.

I've been keeping my eyes on it, but if someone gets a solid pass/fail please post it here. I am keeping this tab open all night and I will do the same if I see it.

Every one I know from the Bay Area voted yes, but I'm a dork and only know about a hundred people tho...

Exactly. I get into that argument with "scientists" all the time. There's a difference between saving the seeds of the vegetables that were productive and tasty to plant next year, vs performing gene splicing in a laboratory under a microscope. Anyone who doesn't get that shouldn't be allowed outside without a helmet on.

But what's frightening (although we are behind Halloween) is that there is absolutely NO media coverage about this. WTF?

And why is this not pinned yet?

Hellooooooo?

^^This! ^^

i guess they are not going to pin anything during elections. i started a thread about it also. i didnt see yours but i five stared it to get up top.

GLP moderators are pathetic, at best.

(12) 5 stars, 917 views, and all they care is pushing Obama vs. Romney non-election threads.

Shame on you GLP moderators.

Notice this:

977 views
12 5-stars

Yet the thread is dying.

Do you really trust your GLP moderators being your friends?

Obviously we hit 1000 views for a reason.

Why is this not being pinned?

It looks like we are wasting out time, but we are not.

Educate, educate, educate....

It doesn't seem like they're pinning ANY threads besides the main election post.

from the UK as I want to know what i'm eating
