Hello Mr. Pollan, I am a student and reporter for my campus newspaper and I am writing an article about proposition 37. I have a few questions:

If we’ve been eating genetically modified food for 18 years, why are we finally trying to label GM’s now?

Why are we, as a nation, dependent on Big Food? If the labeling of GMs pass, will this stir a war on the food industry?

Why is it important to know if our food is genetically modified?

More than 40 nations have GM labeling, but the U.S. does not – why haven’t the U.S. began labeling GMs earlier? Do you think there’s fear of a strike from the food chain?
