Which Way, L.A.?
Proposition 37: Battle over Genetically Modified Foods Polls show a lot of support for Proposition 37 on California's November ballot, at least for the moment. Prop 37 would require the labeling of genetically modified food, and this week, Monsanto contributed $4.2 million to the "No" campaign , raising the total to $25 million. That's ten times what supporters have raised so far.
Which Way, L.A.?
California Voters and the Food Supply In an era of political polarization, Democrats and Republicans agree on one thing: about 90 percent in both parties tell pollsters they want to know if they're eating genetically modified food. Now it appears that a measure called " The California Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act " has qualified for the November ballot and, if it passes, the consequences could be worldwide.

Human Rights in the era of Donald Trump President Trump’s UN Ambassador, Nikki Haley, said today the US might pull out of the United Nations’ Human Rights Council. Serious violators of human rights are members of the Council itself–and a US resignation could make things worse. Later on today’s show, now that he’s into his second term, comedian turned US Senator Al Franken is telling jokes again.
