They won’t give up, no matter the science or the votes. Anti-technology activists opposed to genetically-engineered food were defeated at the ballot box in California last year, but they’re not giving up. A propaganda piece in The New York Times, in the guise of a news story, highlights how major food companies, including Wal-Mart, held a meeting in Washington with advocacy groups who continue to promote the cause of mandatory labeling. The Times claims that the defeat of California’s Proposition 37 hasn’t quelled the demand for labeling, but has instead “spawned a ballot initiative in Washington State and legislative proposals in Connecticut, Vermont, New Mexico and Missouri, and a swelling consumer boycott of some organic or ‘natural’ brands owned by major food companies.”
