There has been much discussion of late regarding Proposition 37 aka Cal Right to Know.
Here is why I am voting yes:
https://naturalsociety.com/gmo-study-rats-fed-lifetime-of-gm-develop-mass-tumors-die-early/
And I am voting "yes" because of this:
Recent health studies provide growing evidence of harm from GMOs:
GM Corn Damages Liver and Kidneys (https://archive.truthout.org/1215091)
Meat Raised on GM Feed is Different (https://www.comcom.govt.nz/media-releases/detail/2009/inghamswarnedovergmfreechickenclai/)
Roundup Could Cause Birth Defects (https://www.laht.com/article.asp?ArticleId=331718&CategoryId=14093)
Genetically Modified Soy Linked to Sterility (https://www.responsibletechnology.org/article-gmo-soy-linked-to-sterility)
And I am voting "yes" on Proposition 37 because of this:

Do I think it is a perfect proposition? No.
However, perfection can be a delusion.
This is a big opportunity to put the brakes on GMO's in the food supply, and Monsanto and their ilk know this to be true. If they (Monsanto, et al) think the technology is so great, you'd think they would want to have GMO contents labeled as a selling point.
I, for one, am not willing to give up this opportunity.
Chance for improvement is better with this law on the books than without it.
