**Statement by Lisa Trope, Colorado Organizer, Food & Water Watch in response to the defeat of Proposition 105, which would have labeled genetically modified foods**

Denver, CO – “Food & Water Watch spoke with, and worked alongside, hundreds of Coloradans in the fight to label genetically modified food in our state. Every day Coloradans took to the streets and to social media to talk to their neighbors, friends and family about why Colorado should offer families the same transparency afforded families in 64 countries worldwide – the right to know what’s in our food. But Goliath prevailed over David: the biotech industry poured $11 million into a flood of television propaganda to drown out the voice of the people. Corporate interests can only keep people in the dark about what we’re eating for so long and Food & Water Watch will continue to fight to make sure that Coloradans know if their food is genetically engineered.”
