And to paraphrase a famous Californian, “We’ll be back!”

The opposition spent $45 million and narrowly defeated this citizen-driven initiative. If we are patient, we can still eventually win.

California’s Label GMO proposition failed at the polls last week, 46.9% to 53.1%, although all votes have not yet been reported. Even though we lost to an overwhelmingly well-funded opposition led by Monsanto (they massively outspent Label GMO), the vote showed tremendous grassroots support for GMO labeling—with four million Californians voting in favor of the proposal.

Here’s an irony for you: the Big Food industry claimed that the proposition would increase food costs. This was proved to be untrue, yet they were willing to spend $45 million to keep foods from being labeled. Clearly Monsanto et al. are terrified of the American public actually learning what’s in the food they buy every day. They must be really proud of their product!
