Right now, with about half of all precincts reporting, the measure is up by 20 points. Damn, now where will I be able to find some good quality fap material that doesn't involve latex?

If there weren't so many such zombies, Prop 37 would have won by a mile.

Monsanto itself donated more money than the entire "yes" side combined. Coke, Pepsi, and Kraft were also huge donors. How friggin sad is it that people don't give a garbage about the food they eat?

So voters rejection of proposition 37 seems to be reason overcoming fear. That is debatable but not the point..labeling products only adds to the education and choices of the consumer. I remember when NO labeling was used of any kind. I hope it comes up again and is passed. It is tough to win being outspent 5 to 1 in the media.

So voters rejection of proposition 37 seems to be reason overcoming fear. for every study, whetehr paid for by monsanto or not, that says they think gmo's are safe, i can find one that says they are likely not safe. however, any reasonable person should be able to surmise that gmo's have not been prevalent in our food supply long enough for those studies to mean much right now. but as wallstreet said, that's not exactly the point. foods are already labeled to tell us about sugar, protein, carbs, etc. it's not like this is a groundbreaking burden here. plus, many countries, even fuckin china, already require it. how people can side with the big corporations with such an obvious profit motive to keep them in the dark about what they are eating is incomprehensible to me. after all the garbage about monsanto and people being fucked by the banks and so many other corporations, why would people trust those corporations to the extent that they don't even want to be informed about what they are eating.

I think it failed because people actually read the prop and we already have labeling like organic and inorganic so why pay more to do this again. on top of that from a judicial point of few Prop 37 doesn’t go as far as it should to give people full transparency about the food they are eating. lawyers $$ would be like a kid in candy store.

For example, Penthouse owns their own property, inside which is the country's largest adult stage/set/green screen. Since they own their building and the property on which it sets, this ordinance will not apply. The others will just shoot outside of L.A. county. New Hampshire is the only other place in the country where shooting porn is legal. They're not moving to New Hampshire.
