Should California require labeling of genetically modified foods? That's the goal of Proposition 37 on the November state ballot. Supporters say GMO labeling will provide California consumers with valuable information, while detractors claim it will simply add unnecessary confusion and cost to the food system.

Host: Michael Krasny

Guests:

  • Belinda Martineau, Principal editor and scientist at UC Davis and a supporter of Prop. 37
  • Bob Goldberg, Professor in the Department of Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology at UCLA, opponent of Prop. 37

  • Stacy Malkan, spokesperson for Yes on 37 campaign, author of "Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry"
