(mostly packaged foods), such as as soy, corn, sugar beets and their derivatives. Prop 37 is a label, not a ban. Opponents of Prop 37 claim it will cost "billions of dollars" to change their labels and find new food supply options. There is no basis for this when labels need to be printed for 2014 and any pre-existing labels won't be subject to legal ramifications. Most companies change their labels at minimum of annually to address package promotions and nutrition changes anyway. Opponents of Prop 37 worry that consumers will not purchase their food if GMOs are labeled. Should this be our concern? Similar labels stop people from smoking and drinking when pregnant. Without a label indicating that a food contains GMOs, the only current way to avoid GMOs is to purchase certified organic, which can be a cost and access issue for many. Without a label, parents interested in establishing GMO cafeterias at their children's schools can not unless they establish a 100% organic cafeteria. Without a label, hospitals seeking to remove or limit GMOs in their patient and practitioner food supplies can not without making their food supply 100% organic.
