Organic Link Love – November 4th

On Tuesday, we will finally know if California becomes the very first state in the country to have mandatory GMO-labeling when citizens in that state vote on Proposition 37.

Several weeks ago, we were winning in the polls but due to a barrage of non-stop, negative and misleading ads, we are now trailing by 10 percentage points. Let’s hope that these poll results are very inaccurate.

In the meantime, here are some of the most interesting and important organic food news stories over the past few weeks. Enjoy!!
