    This article is basically about people wanting to have the right to know what's in there food. When the people say they have a right to know they mean, they need to see what’s in it. They want the information.

    Artical link:2

    This article is about Prop.37 people have a right to know what they're eating, what is in there food. Prop 37 talks about animals eating Monsanto’s genetically modified corn. Eventually those animals that ate the corn suffered with kidney damage, mammary tumors and severe liver problems. It also talks about food labels that should say if the food is genetically modified.

    This article is about why people should have a right to know if our food is genetically modified. It gives you a picture with labels saying what happens when mothers who are pregnant eat genetically modified food. The scientist have found GE insecticides in corn,that is showing up in mothers umbilical cords of women that are pregnant. This is why it’s important to have products labeled genetically modified food.
