We’re getting bombarded by disinformation in the news as pushed by the opponents of Prop 37. This is what we expected and why we’re working so hard to give you accurate information to help you decide what makes the most sense for you and your family. Just today our local paper, The Santa Cruz Sentinel, published a story on a recent Stanford University study, that discussed the nutritional differences in conventional foods versus organic foods. How is that related to Prop 37? The answer to that question is – It’s NOT. It’s another attempt at confusing the issue and it’s disappointing that this study was released at this time. Prop 37 is not about the differences in the nutritional values of Organic versus Conventional foods. It’s about labeling and providing the consumer the information of whether or not the foods we are buying contain GMO ingredients. The use of non GMO seeds to grow crops conventionally or organically would be a farming decision and provide an apples to apples comparison to the nutritional concerns that are referenced in that Stanford study. However, the real concerns are those of using GMO crops and their impact in the body as well as the surrounding environment.
Please take a look at the GMO myths and truths document that we have in PDF format below. It’s one of the best written and explanatory papers on the dangers of GMO’s. It’s information that you’ll want to share with anyone you care about.
As always, we appreciate your support of our business’ Mission and Philosophy.
Please VOTE YES on PROP 37 this November.
