Early Editorials Against GMO Labeling Initiative in Washington State | Food Safety News: "An early indication last year that California’s Proposition 37 might be in trouble was its unpopularity with the state’s newspaper editorial writers. The same phenomenon may be playing out in the Evergreen State, where scribes with opinions aren’t showing much support for Washington’s Initiative 522.
The Seattle Times, Washington state’s largest newspaper, warned voters as early as Feb. 17 to be skeptical about I-522. “Consumers absolutely have a right to know what they are eating is safe, but Initiative 522’s purpose of singling out genetically engineered foods for labeling isn’t the answer to our health questions,” said the Seattle Times editorial board. “The dialogue should center on science. And so far — there is no reliable evidence crops containing genetically modified organisms, commonly referred to as ‘GMO’ foods, pose any risks.”"
