As we reported this morning, California voters rejected Proposition 37, the ballot measure that would have required the labeling of genetically engineered food. Supporters believed the initiative would prevent a misleading use of the word "natural" on foods that have been modified in a lab. What may surprise you is which food companies hopped on board with the efforts--and which did not. 

Advocacy group Cornucopia Institute created a chart detailing the contributions of companies on both sides of Prop 37, as listed by the California Secretary of State. Fighting against the measure were a number of popular, so-called health brands--Naked, Silk, Kashi, Odwalla--owned by corporate giants such as Coca-Cola and Kellogg. 

Check out the chart:

Ben & Jerry's?  The ice cream of liberals who proudly advertise they don't use cow with hormones?  I prefer Haagen Daas anyway.
