Is The End of Monsanto Near? Prop 37 Succeeding as Nations Ban GMO CropsAnthony Gucciardi It all started with the monumental French study finding a serious link between the consumption of Monsantos Roundup-drenched GMOs and massive tumors. Being called the most thorough research ever published on the real health effects of GMOs, the study led to even larger victories. After the study not only did France call for a potential worldwide ban on GMOs pending the results of their in-depth analysis, but Russias major consumer rights organization announced a ban on both the importation and use of Monsantos GMO corn. Prop 37 Can Label Monsanto Out of Existence And now, the Proposition to label all GMOs in the state of California is showing massive success. If Prop 37 passes, it wont just affect California. It is very likely that other states will not just take note, but adopt similar legislation. Through this legal mechanism, we can essentially label Monsanto out of existence. This is possible when considering that the average consumer is actually opposed to GMOs and heavily in favor of proper labeling. In a major Los Angeles Times poll, registered California voters in favor of labeling outnumber pro-GMO voters by more than a 2-to-1 margin. Altogether, a whopping 61% of those polled reported supporting the Prop 37 labeling initiative. Only 25% reported opposing it. As Yes on 37 campaign manager Gary Ruskin explains: Monsanto, DuPont, and Coca-Cola do not want Californians to know whats really in their food and drinks, because they fear consumers will turn away from their genetically engineered ingredients and pesticides that go with them. If they knew they were eating mercury in the HFCS and consuming an artificial sweetener with over 42 associated diseases, then major change would occur change that includes forcing manufacturers to abandon these ingredients in order to stay profitable. And after all, Monsantos number one goal is profit. This is a company that has been caught running slave-like working conditions in which employees were forced to buy only from the company store and were not allowed to leave the area or their pay would be withheld. If Monsantos profits were to plummet, their political reign would likely follow as well. Without an endless amount of cash to throw at crushing Prop 37, already contributing $4 million to fuel anti-labeling propaganda in California, the corporations massive grasp on the world of science (continually censoring studies and funding pro-GM research) and politics would virtually cease to exist. It is essential that we ensure the passing of Prop 37 in a bid to generate the literal end of Monsanto. Once consumers actually know that theyre putting genetically modified creations into their body, real change will occur within the food supply. Explore More:
