GMOs to Go on California Ballot

We need to raise 700,000 signatures. (Natural News article)

Some people don’t like the idea of GMOs.

What I don’t like is that the big food consortiums in partnership with government law makers and regulators can force small farmers and organic growers out of business with raids and crop confiscations.

The GMO growers also tried to prevent small farmers from growing crops contaminated by GMO seeds blowing into their fields. They lost this battle.

The loser when big money and influenced government law makers get together is the general public and the democratic system that is supposed to be by the people for the people.

If the ballot measure forces food providers to declare when their products contain GMOs, it gives the public a right to vote.  It would be one way to put the GMOs in the face of a democratic process.

If the vote is not positive it might force government regulators and law makers to give more consideration to organic growers and small farmers who can provide produce to local markets and street fairs.  I like to buy produce locally.

Big business grows corn at a loss made profitable by government subsidies. This provided at a loss product becomes low quality food stuffs that wind up requiring high cost medical coverage.

Instead of subsidizing corn, soy, and oil, why not subsidize high quality fruit and vegetables and reduce the nation’s dependence on the pharmaceutical industry. If Medicaid is breaking our backs, let’s treat the cause. Lets give kids apples instead of French fries.

GMOs stamp out the little guy. This is an instance where big money backed regulators in government are helping. The fact that GMO’s can save the world is a front for putting more control in fewer hands. Let’s have less efficiency and more choice and innovation.
