I was terribly disappointed after election day. No, not because Romney lost. (Obama, W00T!) I was disappointed that California's Proposition 37 lost. This was the law that would make it mandatory for food companies to label foods that contain genetically modified ingredients. Well crap. What do people have against getting more information? That was my first thought. But after reading a bit more, I don't think this was about willful ignorance. I think this was about Goliath smashing David with a giant money stick. Some people will pay almost anything to keep you from knowing what's really in your food.![]()
