San Francisco in the year 2012, in the grocery store that you shop in; secrets fill the food that you buy. They are filled with items that are being manufactured by multinational corporations. And you have no way of knowing they are lurking there. For the last 18 years these hidden ingredients have seeped into our food stream. The dinner choices are between GMO Blue, GMO Yellow or GMO Green for many. These companies have dark secrets that have caused death and destruction all in the name of profit. Lawsuits and threats are the standard practice to keep their secrets. People have finally started to notice changes happening around them. They started asking questions, but is it too late?

Anytime that I have done a search on the internet for GMO related information one name keeps popping up. They are part of the group of companies that are throwing tons of money in negative ads against Prop 37 here in California. It makes me angry that something as simple as a label to tell me what I am buying isn’t something that is already happening like it is in the rest of world. To fight this conglomeration of corporations and win, we need people to pay attention to see through the smoke and mirrors, to ask questions. It worked for the labeling of milk and the rBST, now we know if the milk in our house has added hormones in it. Why is it too much to ask for the rest of our food to have the same information on it?

The negative ads are saying that it will increase the cost of food for everyone; the pro ads are saying it will cost consumers nothing. I honestly don’t know who is right but what I know is that I want the right to choose what I buy and what I eat. Don’t you want this information?
