Very interesting read - thanks for posting that! I really liked the follow-up comments :-))

It's more than a little scary how much ignorance and misinformation is out there..........and often in the hands of those to whom we supposedly give power. I worry when I think about it :-((

Another poorly written piece of legislation by The Center For Food Safety...sigh.

They really need some actual food production experts in their ranks rather than lawyers, professional activists, and conservationists. There's nothing wrong with any of these people, but they write (or help write) some really crappy and oft invalidated in courts anti-GMO legislation because they fail to fully understand the mass agriculture market or the technologies driving it.

That said, it passed and now Humbolt County gets to spend money in the court system while big chunks of it are invalidated or the whole thing thrown out.

"often in the hands of those to whom we supposedly give power."

You mean the voters?

No, I mean to those we - the voters - elect :-) They are the ones that typically draft the legislation but I guess it all comes down to us for electing them.
