This is why you Vote NO

[Great-Kazoo]

On Prop 105. Concerns of SELECT FOOD aside, the mentality of the 105 ballot sponsor should be a warning to ANYONE who is voting this Nov. I know i've heard this before.

As always the buzz words are well placed.

THIS ISN'T A BAN. mmm sounds familiar
A REASONABLE FIRST STEP. Yeppers now i'm convinced WE MUST VOTE FOR LABELING, IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN.

"I didn't have a goal of banning GMOs," Cooper, an Arvada resident, said. "But I believe in the U.S. we have personal freedom to make an informed choice about the food we're eating and what we're feeding our children.

"This isn't a ban," he added. "It's a label. And this isn't a warning label, it's for those people who are interested — to not choose blindly."




Under Proposition 105, meat and dairy products are exempt from labeling, as are beer, chewing gum, pure honey, restaurant food and school cafeteria food.
Due to Colorado's "single-subject rule," for ballot initiatives, Cooper said the Right to Know campaign could not include any of these other food items on its proposal.
"This is a reasonable first step," Cooper said. "We aren't trying to hurt anybody; all we're trying to do is find out what's in our food."

If someone admits that what they are doing is "a first step," it would seem to be reasonable to infer that they have a second and possibly a third step. In other words, the person has an agenda with a goal. Has that goal been clearly announced?

Agenda? Try Agenda 21

You have a personal freedom to research all your own choices and make the best one for yourself. It's not the governments job to force feed you information so you can FEEL like you've made an "informed" decision. Freaking lemmings.

LEMMING! Who you calling a lemming? I'll have you know I am much more like a beautiful Ostrich

105 is crap, it'll kill the small food producer, they won't be able to afford the additional costs of labeling and their prices won't be competitive if they pass their labeling costs on to the consumer.

Now that I wrote that it makes me wonder if the large corporate farms are trying to drive the little guys out of business.

Send me the current label in .jpg format and I'll add the GMO notification for $1 of my time and send it back to you.
Labels are very often changed. It's not like they are individually hand painted on each container.

I'd kinda like to know what I'm consuming, but that's just me I guess.

Supporters include the advocacy group Food Democracy Now and several companies involved in the sale and distribution of organic products

Chipotle cited a study from Consumers Union showing that for a similar ballot measure in Oregon, a typical consumer would pay about $2.30 more a year.

It's always about how little it cost you the consumer. Never mind it's your money they want to spend to support said ballot.

For pennies a day you too can help obese people feel like second rate citizens. Call now and we'll help you get started on you path of smug indifference.

ACT NOW AND WE WILL INCLUDE A BMI CHART AND THE TOOLS TO HELP YOU MAINTAIN YOUR ELITIST FIGURE.

More liberal bullshit that will ultimately hurt small business, further the leftist agenda of wanting power and control over your life, make CO gov't bigger and more costly, not do a damn thing for the consumer, and make liberals feel good.

I don't need to be convinced to vote NO...it's just common sense.
