Summary: WHAT’S IN A LABEL? A proposition on California’s ballot could put the state at the forefront in a movement to label genetically modified food. Prop 37 aims to inform consumers when the food they buy contains genetically modified organisms. A multimillion-dollar campaign to oppose it argues the labels would raise prices for consumers. A political journalist provides an analysis on the arguments pro and against the proposition. Guest: Araceli Martínez, Reporter, La Opinión and Noticiero Latino, Sacramento, CA. ALSO, PAYING TO DRIVE. Another California proposition would allow auto insurance companies to charge more for drivers who have not had continuous coverage. Many consumer advocacy groups oppose this initiative, with the exception of a multi-cultural civic organization. This is a debate about this California initiative, Proposition 33. Guests: Joseph Ridout, Spokesperson, Consumer Action, San Francisco, CA, www.consumer-action.org
