At the Eleventh Hour: the Case for Proposition 37

Sweet Corn/Fairfax County

On the day of the Californian referendum of Proposition 37, requiring labeling of GMOs, an editorial was written for the American Sustainable Business Council by Brian Chossek, President of Seven Oaks Farm, titled "Making the Business Case for Prop 37." 

"Prop 37 isn’t just a vote for the rights of consumers, although that’s more than enough reason to pass it. Prop 37 isn’t just a vote about the quality of our food, although that’s more than enough reason to pass it. Prop 37 is about voting for transparency in businesses. It’s a vote that tells businesses to meet our needs. It’s a vote for entrepreneurship, innovation, and job and wealth creation. That’s just good business, and it’s why sustainability minded businesses should back Prop 37 on November 6th."
 
If the case wasn't already clear to support Proposition 37 - see my previous post, GMO, Health & Elections - this editorial will only strengthen it.
