Monsanto Dishes Out $4.2 Million to Squash California GMO Labeling InitiativeAnthony Gucciardi 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 companys 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. 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.
