Proposition 37 Evaluation

I am interested in proposition 37 because this is one that I yet to make a final decision about. I'm not completely sure which way to go but I'm leaning more towards yes on prop 37. I have done some research on this topic. I try to stay away from bias websites for the simple fact that not all details and facts will be stated. At first was difficult to find a website that states strictly facts rather than giving opinions trying to persuade you to vote for one or the other. since ii was having a hard time finding non bias websites, i decided to get information from one non bias source, one pro Proposition 37, and one against Proposition 37.
              For those that are unfamiliar with proposition 37 the basic summary of it is, voting YES on this proposition is agreeing to require genetically engineered foods in California would have to be labeled that they are in fact genetically engineered. Those that are voting YES on this proposition argue that it is their right to know what is in the food that they eat. this is a reasonable argument. on the other hand there are the ones that vote NO on prop 37. This means that you do not agree with the new labeling laws and that genetically engineered foods sold in California would continue not to be labeled in a specific way. Those against prop 37 argue that the labeling requirements is just a scheme to make taxpayers pay even more. Maybe even millions more money than before the labeling laws.
             I agree with having the right to know what is in our food, but at the same time money is very valuable to a lot of people these days. I would give my opinion on this subject, but i chose to make this post an evaluation instead of an argument. i would like to see what others think? what do you guys think?
