The campaign against 37 was a based on a bunch of lies. They outspent the Yes on 37 people by about 10x. In the end, all the lies fooled people into voting "no". I don't know how anyone in their right mind could vote "no". How could it be a bad thing to have products labeled?

One of the phony arguments against 37 was that it would only apply to certain products. In reality, it was going to apply to any products that were relevant and that the state had jurisdiction over. It couldn't be applied to meat because the USDA is the governing body that oversees meat. It couldn't be applied to alcohol because the FAA oversees the labeling on alcohol.

Ah but the cows are being fed GMO corn and oats....the whole thing was written by a trial lawyer. It was poorly written by someone I can guarantee wasnt really looking out for people but looking for profit lawsuits. A pizza in a grocery store has to be labled but not the one delivered by the pizza guy made with the same products. Its was BS.....re-write it make it more defined and dont make it a hardship on farmers who make little to no money at all.
