Fight back against Big Food: How to boycott all the brands that helped kill Prop. 37

Fight back against Big Food: How to boycott all the brands that helped kill Prop. 37


(NaturalNews) Though there are still quite a few absentee, mail-in and
provisional ballots left to be counted, it appears as though
California's Proposition 37, the genetically-engineered (GE) foods
labeling initiative, has indeed failed to pass by a very narrow margin.
But that does not mean the labeling fight is over, nor does it mean
proponents of honesty in food labeling cannot get even with the
opposition by actively boycotting the corporations responsible for
helping kill the initiative.

If even half of the nearly six
million Californians that voted in favor of Prop. 37 decided to stop
purchasing the following "natural" and organic food brands, all of which
are owned by companies that spent millions to defeat Prop. 37, the
financial damage incurred by these corporate traitors would be
significant enough to send the message that the people want to know, and
have a right to know, whether or not the foods they eat contain
genetically-modified organisms (GMOs).

The Organic Consumers Association
(OCA) is calling on honest food advocates everywhere, not just in
California, to boycott the following brands for betraying their
customers by opposing GMO labeling. OCA Director Ronnie Cummins is
urging the public not only to stop purchasing the following brands, but also to call their corporate hotlines
and demand that they reverse their position and begin supporting GMO
labeling initiatives nationwide, including upcoming GMO labeling ballot
initiatives in Vermont, Washington state, Connecticut, and elsewhere.

1) Naked Juice, Tostitos Organic, Tropicana Organic. Each of these popular brands is owned by PepsiCo, which donated $2.5 million to the No on 37 campaign.

2) Boca Burger, Back to Nature. These two brands are owned by Kraft Foods, which donated $2 million to defeat Prop. 37.

3) "O" Organics. This organic brand is owned by the grocery store chain Safeway, which is a member of the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA). GMA spent $2 million to defeat GMO labeling in California.

4) Honest Tea, Odwalla. Both of these popular "natural" brands are owned by the Coca-Cola Company, which donated $1.7 million to the No on 37 campaign.

5) Muir Glen, Cascadian Farm, Larabar. All of these brands are owned by General Mills, which donated $1.2 million to defeat Prop. 37.

6) Orville Redenbacher's Organic, Hunt's Organic, Lightlife, Alexia. Each of these brands is owned by Con-Agra, which spent $1.2 million to defeat Prop. 37.

7) Kashi, Bear Naked, Morningstar Farms, Gardenburger. These popular "healthy" brands are all owned by Kellogg's, which spent $791,000 to kill Prop. 37.

R.W. Knudsen, Santa Cruz Organic. These two brands are owned by Smucker's, which spent $555,000 to defeat Prop. 37.

9) Ben & Jerry's. This ice cream favorite is now owned by Unilever, which spent $467,000 to defeat Prop. 37.

10) Horizon, Silk, White Wave. These three brands can be found in health food stores all across the country, but their parent company, Dean Foods, donated $254,000 to the No on 37 campaign.

When these companies start to feel the consequences of a nationwide boycott
in the form of decreased profits, it just might cause them to think
twice about deliberately blocking future efforts to bring truth and
honesty to food labeling.

You can also make your voice heard more
loudly by directly contacting each of these companies and expressing
your thoughts using the following petition portal. It explains that, in
order to regain your business, these anti-labeling conspirators must
agree to publicly speak out in favor of all future GMO labeling efforts,
as well as contribute more money to each of these campaigns
individually than they spent fighting Prop. 37: http://www.capwiz.com
