GMO Labeling - Find Out Which Companies Are Paying Millions To Stop Proposition 37

Natural News Buzz | Posted: August 17, 2012

While $2.6 million had been raised so far supporting Prop 37, a whopping $23.5 million has been donated to fighting Prop 37. Biotech giant Monsanto donated $4,208,000 alone. Here is a short list of the top deep-pocket anti-labelers and their respected donations:
    Monsanto - $4,208,000
    Pepsi Co. - $1,716,300
    Coca Cola - $1,164,400
    Congara - $1,076,300
    Kellogg - $632,500
    General Mills - $520,000

It may be surprising for those just getting into the organic lifestyle to see many companies selling organic products are actually owned by multi-national corporations; companies like Kashi, Cascadian Farm, and Santa Cruz Organic are actually child companies of giants like Kellogg, General Mills, and Smuckers - all of which are against GMO labeling.
