    * GMO labeling opponents raise more than $25 million

    * Closely watched California fight has national implications

    By Lisa Baertlein and Carey Gillam

    LOS ANGELES/KANSAS CITY, Aug 16 (Reuters) - After two decades fighting to force U.S. food companies to tell consumers when their products are made with genetically modified organisms, activists in California have mounted what is potentially their most promising offensive to date.

    In November, voters in the nation's most populous state will decide whether to require labels on food and drinks containing so-called GMOs, or ingredients that come from plants whose DNA has been manipulated by scientists.

    Well, I certainly hope this happens. Some of these GMO companies pushed these to market without significant, generational long term testing on people, the environment, animals that pollinate, etc.

    I think that would be wise. If food corporations have to list ingredients, why shouldn't they have to tell them when it contains GMOs?
