Reason officer gave for stop
I went through a yellow light on a left turn. He just gave me a warning.
um, he said it was an illegal lane change, i disagreed with me, ut
oh, okay, let's see, um, sigh, let's see, there were two of them i never given a straight answer, let's see, the vague license plate light being out, but when i went to the rear of the car the light was on; um, let's see, there was the non-use of blinker,
One was I wasn't wearing a seat belt and the other was that I was going over the speed limit. I think it was 8 or 10 miles per hour over the speed limit. It was a 35 mph zone.
um, what did he tell me? he pulled me over cause he said what the heck was, he pulled me over, asked me some questions, and let me go.
um, failing to yield to a pedestrian, though the light had just turned green, technically i did not yield to the pedestrian
mechanical warning for a tail out ony on truck
I was speeding. I was going 68 in a 55 zone.
Once for driving too slow and once for passing where I wasn't supposed to
he said I failed to abide by the traffic light
kind of driving irradically, didn't signal lane change or signal turn
he claimed that i slipped thru a stop-street very slowly
that i went thru a yellow light and i was too late
Speeding (p) It varied, one time I was in the wrong. (p)
Speeding (p) twenty miles an hour over the speed limit (p)
going too fast, not using my turn signal, and rolling through a stop sign. [p] 10mph
He really didn't give me one. That's why I know it was because I has some Mexican folks in the car. He was very apologetic. That was my first experience with racism. I understand what people were talking about from direct experience even though I'm white.
once I was not using a blinker. The second time...let me think...I don't remember
expired tags, daughters car and forgot to put tags on
speeding- 15 miles over speed limit , 70 mph
burn out head light and can't remember the other time
i was not wearing my seat belt. that was true.
speeding, 8 miles an hour over the speed limit
driving across the white line & speeding.
broken licence plate, broken lights....various outside appearance reasons
five mph over speed limit, once for licence plate, (had michigan plate on car and oregon plate in window) , tires going over white line,
speeding, 55, i was going 63, so 6 miles over the limit,no
um, he thought i went through a red light and i thought i went through a yellow.
Taillight out. Once was speeding, once was taillight out, and once was because I stopped in front of the line.
minor things, tail lightout, or the light over the license plate , and then once I was speeding
i dropped a little old lady off at the doctors office and i did a half U turn out of the drs office over the double line median, it was in the morning, no traffic, but technically it was a wrong turn. because i said i local, and the little old lady was b
speeding--between 8 and 10 miles over the speed limit
once speeding 18 miles over, and the tailight out.
1-wrong way on the one way 2-in a school zone, going a few miles too fast. gave warning
for every stop , the officer gave no reason for one stop, no reason, another time I was stopped because I was driving a vehicle that matched a vehicle they were looking for another time I wasn't wearing a seat belt, once because my tail light was
to get my headlights fixed, bc when i hit a pump they don't work, and he was very concerned about it. they helped me - they followed me home and told me how to get my lights fixed
just regulare checking you out to see if I was legal while fishing
My tag was expired but it was an out-of-state tag and I was trying to get my lending institution to send me the appropriate documentation. I showed her what I had with me and she let me go because I was trying to get it all together. Oh, and I had a tail
1. speeding, 12 miles over speed limit 2. speeding, 16 miles over speed limit 3. speeding, 17 miles over speed limit
Here's how it works. Profiles are based not only as race but the kind of car. I was in a neighborhood that was a crime prevention neighborhood. And because I was in a old beater car.
mostly warning for headlights and stuff like that
one was speeding one was an innappropriate entry into the line of traffic didnt have tags on the license plate
actuall yone was for possible speeding and noise violation
ah i had a light out on the car i was driving.
ran the plate before got in the car, crossed the fog line, speeding 12 over.
license plate was out, swerving....screwing around with heater
the first time my tail light was out, and the second time my daughter was out of a car seat. She's four.
i just came off the freeway and she didn't understand me. i didn't have the cruise on. it is a new van so if i had the cruise on i would not have been speeding. that was my very first ticket
the first said that i was 3 minutes into the red light, and second time i was driving a company car, bright red, bc i had expired tags
He saw me pulling out of where I live, which is kind of a ghetto area, and said I was swerving. He just let me go.
I got stopped twice in the same week for a very light, faded tailight.
I wasn't wearing my seatbelt. He was in an undercover car, and it was solely for seatbelts.
I was speeding. I was going a little fast.
driving the wrong way on a one way street
cutting off, not wearing a seat belt, and riding on a closed road
tp point out one of my tail lights was out
um, it was my fault. i was driving too fast, speeding. um, ha, um, i was goin like 85 in a 45 zone
I was going a little too fast thru town. I was looking for a bthroom one of those kind of things
Um, one officer said that I was speeding, and the other one said that I changed lanes in the intersection.
Equipment light s ort, speeding usually equipment issues the car stalled
tailight and speeding (p) it was for 8, I believe, 8-10 miles.
he said i was speeding 7 miles over the speed limit
he was looking for somebody else--so they were profiling whatever was moving.
My head light was out. Both times it happened in the same week.
he thought I was disoriented, and the light on my license plate was out but I had stopped because there was headlights coming towards me in my lane, I wasn't driving very fast and so I think that that atracted his attention
I think it was failure to use a turn signal.
Because I had a smoked license plate cover
no right side blinker and no license plate light.
broken tail light and uh speeding was the other one
overhead lights were on, it is a tow truck, and then once my tail light was out
new on beach wanted to know people in community
well, I had forgotten to turn on my lights, and the second time was that I had not moved over soon enough to make a turn.
radar 15 miles over the speed limit. nope
my light bulb on my license plate had fallen out and I fixed it right there, so we both were happy. no
um, well, i'd say the best one I got was you were doing 38mph in a 35mph sometimes it was called for sometimes it was uncalled for - the state needs to give options to street bikers and i have been lookinhg for a way i got a ticket for having a
lack of a front license plate in front of the veichle, gave me a verbal warning
he said that I was swerving and he gave me a field sobriety test
he said i didn't signal when i made the right turn, even though i was in a right turn lane
Going through a stop sign without stopping.

Why R disagreed with officer's reason
um, because i had on a hat, it was at night, and the particular car i had is a full size car that is unfortuntaely frequently used by "gang members." and um, oh, one of the stops was because my headlights were out, so i drove home with my fog lights on.
for one, i knew the officer, and he didn't like me, i have long hair, he doesn't like me, and i threatened him with a restraining order, and i had a judge who was a friend of the family call this officer's police chief/superior and told him if he did not
i stoped, i dont know why you would get pulled over for that.
Because he said that I did not completely stop at the stop sign once we were in court.
yes, i think he was looking for something...he took so darned long....he was looking around checking for something
visited a friend who had been arrested for marajuana and he picked me up as i left the house and had been a block away from his house...
well i went back to the traffic light it was changing every 15 seconds and the yellow would stay on for 3 seconds and it was causing the traffic to stop and go erratically
Cause I'm a biker. (p) I think that's specifically it.
I had alot of people in my vehicle and, I don't know, it was late at night.
coming down hill, coasting, not accelaterating only 2 miles over speed limit
i work and get off of work late at night when the bars close and so they're looking for people who are intoxicated.
how many people go five miles over the speed limit?, you can have a temp plate in your window? this is minor stuff
because i put my foot on the break for the yellow light so that i would that i wasn't in anybody's way.
i suspect that they used the broken tailight as an excuse to look for drunken drivers. i'm sure they pulled me over to see if i was intoxicated or not, which i think was fair.
Uh, it was late at night, and it was just the time the bars were closing, so I'm sure they were just trying to get people for DUI's.
because they always check for insurance, license, and when I was leaving a bar at 2:00 in morning they stopped me, and assumed I was drunk because I had on strong cologne , it probably had alcohol or methanol, and they shined a light in my eye, and
yeah, cause they got nothing else to do. there looking for something to do.
i work at a bar, and i was givng a patron a ride home from the bar the officer was targeting the bar for drunk driving.
Because I wasn't swerving. I was driving perfectly fine. He saw me driving out of an area that tends to have high crime and it was late. It was midnight.
Because I saw the officer, and I changed lanes prior to entering the intersection and he followed me for several blocks before he pulled me over.
I didn't necessarily believe them one time the car stalled at a busy intersection . He said to me that there are a lot of drug deals in the part oftown and I drive an old car. But I understand they have a responisbility to check out suspcious things and t
I don't belive I crossed the line. I think it's because I came out of a tavern.
Because it was late a night and I figured he pulled me because he thought you were drinking. I do have a bad license plate. It just seems kind of lame.
Well, one time it was 2:30 in the morning. that's when the bar close; and the other time we were heading up in the mountains to hunt and we had a lot of visible weapons. He thought we might have been drinking or poaching. There's usually not a lot of traf
i kind of did, it felt like he was trying to get his quota for the day. he told that lots of people are speeding there, but there is no speed sign
well i cant really disagree with it because the headlight was out. It was late at night and we were in a college town so I would guess they thought you were underage and dringking.
the broken tail light [p] it was taped over [p] because they have quotas at the end of the month they need to give people a certain # of tickets so at teh end of the month they start pulling ove a lot mor pepole
they lie in order to run a check on me. reason always an obvious lie
my bike, i am riding a supersport, it's a professional race bike, yeah, people tend to look at it a little differently
because I was stopped in an area that there is probably a lot of drinking and there was no way that I swerved
because he used a minority for an example of why he stopped me, if he didn't stop me he would be discriminateing agains mexican so he felt he had to stop me

First thought: Organic food
good, healthy good for the environment, good for local farmers
it hasn't been sprayed no pesticides, just fresh picked and to the store
that it has been specially handled and grown
organic food means to me that it was raised where there was no pesticide or chemical fertilizers
well I think that would be I don't like liars so I am wondering how honest they are. I hope its pesticide free and grown without inorganic fertilizer.
um, no pesticides, no growth hormones, no genetic engineering, food the way God intended it to be.
just um without food that grown without pesticides
I used to gardern and i tried to use organic fertilizers.
um grown without pesticides or hormones, or antibiotics when it comes to animals
pure. no hormones. no additives. that kind of thing. just grown food with no fertilizers or pesticides.
not for me becaue its too expensive and i dont know wheather its organic or not
it is grown without steroids or pesticides. organic foods are supposed to be free from what other food is exposed to.
non commewrcial fertilization no pesticides
I think they want a ntaural food without pesticides growing in without the use of chemicals and things of that nature
I don;t know most of what is sold is not organic..it is an advertizing gimic
i think it is the most ridiculous i've ever heard used for food because all food is organic. i think i know what they mean, pesticide free, but i think it's a silly term.
don't know...nothing added, no preservatives
I think that they don't put a bunch of preservatives and it's more natural than going through a cannery.
2 things, certified and plain organic, i look for certified if i want non pesticedes, if they say organically grown i think grown without pesticedes
thats grown without fertilizer or sprays
healthy postive low impact better for my kids and more expensive becoming more available is great
what do you mean by organic something that is grown organically or something that grew orginaically like alfafa sprouts? (P) fruits 7 vegitibles
organic food is means wihout pestidiceds antibiotics or hormones genetic mutations the like. I usually associated it with certifides organic. organic mean no pesticides
No fertilizer, no commercial fertilizer that is.
i know it can't be completely organic because the crops have been raised the way they have ofr yrs and yrs and i know they can't be completely organic
well actually I think of healthy because I buy a lot of organic food and when I garden I actually have an organice garden. and I know the meaning of the word it is grown without pesticides.
I eat a lot mostly the root type potatoes, yams, beets
Food that hasn't been treated by pesticides or hasn't been genetically altered.
sigh, God, it's jusst, there's nothing there
I really don't pay that much attention to it.
has no carbon dioxide, uh know that's what it has, uh, uh has no chemicals
uhh, it probabley has some uhh, ingrediants put into it that are not natural
when I hear organically grown , T think that it is grown without chemical fertilizer
never give it a thought....depends on the cost
well, stuff that is grown without sprays and lots of fertilizers and stuff like that
somthinf expensive and not necesarily better
that they are not commercially fed with hormones, they are naturally raised
something ..they don't use any chemicals on
well I definitely think organic food has its benefits. I think it has environmental benefits, in addition to its health benefits.
ah, something that never has pesticides used on it or had like a preservatives, or man made substance
Well, organic food is naturally grown, so it is safer than commercially grown food.
no herbicides or pesticides, or fertilizers, or fertilizers that are not natural, that is.
um, oh, huh, organic food is about the only thing
better for the environment, better for the consumer, better for the workers and more expensive
That's a hard one. In general I think it is good.
Do you mean without fertilizers and stuff like that. Organic I would think would be no pesticides and fertilizers (chemical fertilizers) that type of thing.
It's rich kids with dredlocks in Ashland.
i am drawing a blank i am sorry. health food is what i can think of
What I think is I wish I could buy it. Let's see, now they've got some new rules but I know you don't always necessarily get what you think your are getting. I didn't see much point in that label that we had on our last election because it looked to me fr
i guess it is more natural or more healthy
it is grown without pesticides that's what i think so but i don't think that is always true how do we know
it sounds like it is grown without fertilizer or spray
just that it's grown differently than the other food
organic food should be grown naturally with no chemicals or genetic engineering
well I'm not too impressed. i buy from the ones who I am quite sure are the best.
well...I smile when i see it because i feel that anything that is grown is organic.
um do you have an answer like bullshit. Organic food is a myth.
no pesticidews, no chemicals, natural manure and fertilizers, natural source of energy.
Food that has been raised without pesticides or fast-growing steroids.
something that is grown without artificial fertilizers or hormones, or that sort of thing.
I think that's a buncy of baloney. I don't know, it might not be. Way back, the only food they raised was organic.
that's food grown without pesticides or not natural fertilizer
The kind we've always had. I came from a ranch family that ran a three-acre garden. That was certainly organic, and we didn't have chemicals.
that its all natural, it came from the environment
i wouldnt know because i have my own gardemn
doubt because there is an awfully lot of ads im not sure if it is organic
without chemicals or man made fertilizer
no pesticides, um no gentic, all natural
hippie,no, can I change that ? To me it means expensive, that would be more accurate
foods grown with out pesticides ans such
vegetables, yeah, trying to think, what they call them, the beef that raised in pens, they call them free range chicken, like free range beef.
hydrophonically grown tomatoes, i don't know, it makes me think about hippies
oh, i suppose organic tomatoes, we had that on the market
that the food is picked and grown without chemical fertilizers.
Food that's grown without like, something like pesticides, it's grown naturally.
food grown without pesticides and as naturally as possible. There are insects that protect you from other insects. And that genes have not been impaired. It's not been sprayed and its grown from uncontaminated seed.
something that is not had pesticides, something that hopefully not genetically modified, mostly without pesticides or liquid animal hormones
um, it's food that is grown out of organic matters
organic, i think of tofu, kinda natural foods, ah, garden food, well food that doesn't have a lot of preservatives,
food that is good for you tastes better and is healthier probably the best value, no poison [p] nope i mean we could go on for a long time about organic food.
organic food is supposed to be more better [p] no, not necessarily
food grown without pesticides and chemicals
grown without pesticides and genetic modification
food grown without chemiclas, naturally grown foods
um, pesticide free herbicide , no horm no antibiotics, no chemicals,, naturally raised
Euell Gibbons and have you ever eaten a pine tree ?, I guess
No pesticides or chemicals added to the plants and growing.
um well i think i healthy, um, big potential for false advertising and but generally expensive, but generally positive.
it just a like farm fresh stuff not a lot of chemicals in it, basically i butcher my own beef and pork and stuff like that. ususally i try to stay away from crap that is grown, like with a bunch of chemicals and mass produced stuff that they feed the mass
Something that is not filled with antibiotics, basically, or are we talking about meat or vegetables? Pesticides.
um i think of man made, right maybe that is not right does that sound right oh good i would have failed are you typing that too. i bet you get grumpy people dont you. thats good. nope
Food that is grown or raised without pesticides or hormones.
NO pesticides, no hormones, and no GMOs (genetically-modified organisms). And then economic and sustainable.
lots of work, i worked on an organic farm. no
fresh. or something that is no chemicals. Very safe.
the food i buy, better food superior quality, heatlthier more nutritious, not poisioned.
foods that hs not been chemically treated
um, grown without pesticides or hormones or other artificial inhancements.
uh, that there is an attempt to grow it without pesticides or genetically altered grains and what not.
It is grown without artificial fertilizers or pesticides.
Bullshit. A marketing technique. A successful marketing technique.
naturally grown no perservatives no pesticides
Just, grown without pesticides, totally natural.
well without pesticides and all of that stuff
Uh, very ambiguous. Technically, everything is natural.
i suppose if i ever thought about it it would be visions of those big greenhouses where they grow it. right i dont know maybe thats not where they grow it. i am not into the environment.
grown without things like, uh, pesticides and stuff.
fruits and vegetables--like clean good fruits and vegetables
just some produce without pesticides or chemical fertilizers
Uh, naturally grown without the use of chemicals or pesticides.
the farm i use to have- completely organic
grown without chemicals, more private farming
well theres a lot of different things, i think they are pretty good. i dont know. i just think whatever they come up with.
naturally grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
i know but i dont know how to explain it, they arent grown in the ground, i mean i dont know.
grown without artifial fertilzers,sprays and food such as for cows
well no preservatives, no herbicides or pesticides , just natural food
no pesticides, aam unprocessed ... from the ground to the market, i don't know
pesticide free but i'm hoping, im sorry its actually chemical free, not pesticide free, so chemical free is what im hoping
its more carefully cultivated food [p] better for you more expensive thats it
food that is grown without the use of pesticides
Its grown without pesticides or thing like that they put in the soil natually grown
food that's grown without pesticides and be pure
foolishness, well idon't think they have any ground they don't understand the science involved, well, it is politically correct but foolish
healthy, i ...that's the only thing i have been told to
oh..natural no insecticides or pesticides involved, good old water and your own compost - just nbatural ingredients, nothing chemically produced or enhanced
amm pesticide free, natural, chemical free, just cleaner healthier
food thats growns without peisticides ,pure
first thing you think it is supposed to be healthly, but you think it is the same item labeled organic, and it costs more.
the majority is not organic even it they say so because the way its grown. They fertilize it. Even cow manure depends on what they've been feed. So, it's misnomer.
food that is naturally, grown locally, without pesticdes
natures /it's a store that's where i buy it
somebody's trying to grow something with chemicals
the only thing that comes to mind is the food I grow myself
ok food that is grown without help of pesticides and inorganic fertilizers, I guess
uh, you know i work with nurses who grow the own food organically, i think of sprout.
organic food, um, i'd have to say , vegetables
the way the person puts it on the market. How it comes to the market. how much do they do before it comes to the market. to give it to the people you have to have it right. its very important
I think they are crazy If people really knew what goes on with organic food we have been in the nursry association for years we have heard people say that they grow the same kind of food in the organic just as as in the regular alot of it is not all its a
fresh from garden, fresh grown food, with no preservatives and so forth
food that is grown without pesticides and other types of processes and GMOs
grown without pestiicdes or articficial addditives
oh just something thats grown in the soil
uh, you know im not sure what organic means.
I think they're nuts because it's not organic
i dont think of anything special that comes to mind
um, it means theres no chemicals and pesticides used when growing the product.
usually that it doesnt use manufactured chemicals
foods grown without pesticides and artificial fertilizer.
I don't know. I don't pay attention to it.
Well, no pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
i would hope it has no artificial fertilizer and sprays on it
I know what organic food is, because I buy organic food. I know where it has come from, and how it got here. I think it is too expensive; it has evolved over time and I don't think it should be more expensive, as the procedures of producing it are in pl
llets see that it's healthy and probably without chemicals
well, I have a mixed thing for me, I don't always believe if its organic. But I will buy it if its priced OK and it looks good, and I love to go down to the farmer's market and buy all their produce. (But for word association, what comes to mind when so
Questionable. A question of whether it is truly more beneficial, more nutricious.
it is their business, they can do as it pleases, i am not interested about it
no pesticides grown naturally, unless it's meat no hormones. we raise our own meat
expensive, ammm they say that there are no chemicals in the food, it has not been treated with any chemicals
amm...food grown with out pesticides and herbicides
i'm for it. i buy organic food sometimes i'm not for a bunch of chemicals. i believe in it
grown naturally usually no man made fertilizers and pesticides
I'm an organic chicken and duck person: grown without pesticides and chemical fertilizers. For meats it involves feeding oragnic feed and not exposing to toxins
Grown without pesticides or any sort of alterations, just natural.
I start thinking about people who go overboard on the environment. I don't buy it myself, okay?
If it comes from a person saying that, then it would be that they don't use pesticides. If it comes from a grocery store like Fred Meyer, then it means that it's probably grown in a greenhouse under lots of chemicals.
sort of naturally grown, or controlled growth, I guess
Without fertilizer and pesticides and the like.
aaa ... it is interesting, you gotta be careful, you still have to wash your produce. to me it is a lot of boloony. they use gray water , type of fretilizer, you gotta be damn careful with that stuff
i don't know. i am not much upon that stuff i guess. i'm not good on that one
shribbled up vegetables and fruit, it is just like i'll go to supermarket and get what i nee. we just cannot eat just organic food
well it's grown without lots of fertilizers, no spray
grown naturaly without perservatives, chemicals hormones food additives
amm healthy food and cleaner environment, i guess sustainability would be a good word
food that has been grown wiothout the use of pesticides herbicides or articfical chemicals like buying KNP fertilizer instead of steer manuer
well, just how it's grown to make it to cause it to be organic
I think of tomatoes, I always buy tomatoes
nothing mmm I eat it I'm curious i don't know what it means all the time
produced without pesticides, hormones, and drugs. fertilizers all natural products
the way I was raised--no fertilizers and no sprays--pure natural things.
No pesticides or chemicals. Grown on it's own.
it's been raised free of pesticids...it's not altered
produce like lettuce carrots, stuff like that
aam, less pesticides, good things, i should buy it instead of the products that have been grown with pesticides, it is worth paying the extra buck in support of organic farms
aam i think of naturally grown without chemicals, bc most food nowadays is grown with chemicals
i think of it being especially grown like with specil herbs and stuff, that's how i think
i think i better be careful eating that. i am not into organic stuff too much
organic food means food grown without aqny fertilizer. Natural food, not artificial foods.
no chemical pesticides, fertilizers used in the production. yes, antibiotics, no chemicals, just no synthetics, there are a few naturally occuring chemicals like salt, but i mean pesticides used during the development.
grown without pesticides and the other thing thever been ta;lking about. without genetic alteration, or genetic something
expensive no use of pesticides which sometimes is a blessing and sometimes isn.t
um, probably i would say probably um expensive and not very tasty
uh oh environmentally friendly or safe i guess.
without using alo of chemical fertilizers or pesticides
raised without pesticides as much as possible
fresh--I like to think of carrots and lettuce in the garden but I think it really refers to stuff grown without pesticides and chemicals
I think they are telling me a bunch of crap- I don't believe it is truly organic. How can one say it is truly organic because of what is in the ground already?
Grown without pesticides and chemical fertilizers,they use manuer and compost. I can't recall what chemicals go into fertilizers, I remember reading where they compared two fields one was treated with chemical fertilizers, the other they didn't do nothing
vegetables with no pesticdes or preservatives
cost,haha it seems like it ends up being higher price than regular [p] i'm not aware a lot about organic type food
thats a good question, probably free of substances but thats not the word I want [p] chemicals.
um , no chemicals used and it's growth when it is grown, harvested and it's growth
anything that is having to do with plant and environmental life.
What comes to mind is a bunch of baloney, because there really isn't any. Just because it's grown under certain guidelines doesn't mean it won't have any pesticides in it.
organic? uh less pesticide uh some oh what words to use, uh something that is labeled correctly, grown free of pesticides
things with out pesticides and chemicals, no chemicals and pesticides, free range stuff. everything natural no inferecne of things that can hurt you.
without pesticdes, or no artficial ingrediemts
no different or any better than any other food. Some that is not organic gets the nutrients as organic food. The fertilizers that is used for both is in many cases the same.
well, that it probably has no pesticides, no man-made nutrients in it.
made naturally no pesticides, hormones, or all the impurities put into to , fresh organically grown.
grown without no preservatives is what i consider organic.
just things grown without pesticides, nothing in particular
i think it is largelt fars, i don't think we have true organic food
produce, aaa... i don't know i think it is more expensive. i buy it when it is equivelent ot less expensive
I'm not exactly sure I know what that means
well i have worked in an organic farm, the standards are not the same, a lack of uniform understanding
that there are no chemicals added, naturally grown.
something grown with out pesticides, feritizlers, anything that is manifactured by men
i do not like to use chemicals to kill the bugs and weeds, i use black plastic to kill the weeds in my grden.
well i used to think that it is food without pesticides, basically that is what i think food grown the best way
fresh , no pesticides, more expensive, it is better
high prices, i think organic food, i mean whatever you fertilize with it, it doesn't matter. when people are hungry they eat anything. it is just an excuse to charge higher prices
food that is not genetically modified, food that is not modified by any means you know pesticides
ammm healthy, cost that it is more expensive, therefore it is a class issue, people who can afford it get the good food, and people who can't afford it have the bad food
one that has no pesticides or sprays chemicals
i think of farmer's market and thiangs of that nature
well, it used to be um that um you knew where it came from and the implication was no pesticides, healthier, now it's become kind of a bad and some foods are not really organic. We used to get sweet carrots and certified raw milk. When I think of organi
um, no pesticides and no um, to make them grow better
grown according to standards, california standards i go by
it has been fertilized by organic waste, animal waste
well food that hasn't been sprayed with pesticides
grown naturally, no preservatives or drugs.
I think of produce, fruits and vegetables
no hormones no pesticides grown naturally
naturally grown without chemical processing
I don't know really know. I asked my friend the other day and I didn' get an answer, so I dont't really know.
ah...it's grown w/out any pesticides and chemicals
I think of no or less chemicals or sprays. That's what it's supposed to be, at least. And more nutritious.
Stuff like organic vegetables, organic rice, organic milk, soy.
i suppose not grown with artificial fertilizer
More expensive, more refined, better for the environment, for everybody involved.

Types of organic food purchased
fruit and veggies, cereal, milk, eggs, and uhh organic chicken and turkey
vegetables and bananas and um, well it just depends
we buy all those, but i think your question really is do i look for something that is labeled organic, the answer is no
fruit vegetables dairy products and free range meat
anything, and everything, if i can get it easily and its cheap enough
fruits vegetables and dairy products So we don't have organic meats where we shop. Otherwise I'd be buy organic meant too.
I have been slippinfg a little since I ve been in school no money but I usually buty everything organic now I buy organic eggs, meat cheese. milk, the staples..the vetable definately
The fruits, the vegetables, the dairy products. My husband tried that organic milk at first but he refuses to drink soy milk. I buy the organic popcorn and snacks for my daughter. It is easier to get my daughter to eat them than my husband, but he's comin
Not really dairy products but just fruit and vegetables. Not much meat eaters in our home.
um, all of the above, when we can get them
usually fruits and veggatables, i dont make a big point of it
vegetables , and grown on a farm with free range chickens uh , just aware of the vegetables and chickens
well, i wast trying to think what i bought, i think it would be more likely fresh vegetablaes. The thing is I am a diabetic. I have a very high dairy intolerance
fruit, vegetables, dairy products, and some poultyr
dairy and fruits and veggies some meats half the labeling you can't trust A lot of things say organic
yeah, right, i was going to say fruits and vegetables, sometimes juice, all natural,
fruit veggies dairy alternatives and meat sometimes
dairy products and fruit and vegetables.
produce and i guess bread and stuff like that
probably fruit. but again, that's rarely.
I guess maybe I get a few things in the health food section that are probably organic. They are not fresh foods. I got some chicken at Fred Meyers that left a lot to be desired on its freshness. Soy milk. Some of the health food things I buy are organic (
fruits and vegetables more than anything
milk breads grains rices organically free range chickens, wild fish all our fruits and vegetables
Fruit and soy products, dairy alternatives
Last week was probably the only thing I bought that was organic--grains.
fruit , vegetables, dairy products, and some meat
Meat, vegetables, um milk products and fresh fruits.
Like rice, beans, pasta, vegetables, anything that doesn't have artificial ingredients, food preservatives, food colorings.
It would be more often fresh produce, that's where I'm more aware of what's organic
Fruits and vegetables, (p) yeah dairy and meat.
well, its actually changed: More meat and vegies.
sometimes vegetables rarely i should say
fruits, vegetables, and meats. I have no way of knowing about the milk.
either or fruit or vegetables depending on which one's cheaper
fruit and vegetables, occasionally others but heavy on fruits and vegetables
fruits and vegetables, grains, cererals breads
um, we don't really get into it too deeply, mainly the labeling on the cans, where the salt and sugar is coming from, quantities.
fruit, vegetables, dairy products and meats
its probably vegetables, sometimes some fruit, but we usually use our own garden for vegetables, and we also try to raise our own meat.
more i think more vegetables as as I can think
um, we're more into the flours and baking product s
I'm careful for meat to be grass fed. The carrots are superior. And greens but it depends on the price.
um, organic chicken, fruits and vegetables, and soy milk, and chicken broth,
tomatoes, fruit, but not specifically, we buy whatever is on sale
um, Safeway is starting to carry organic carrots and things like that, and cheaply, carrots, broccoli, and not too expensive. IN fact between the organic carrots and the organic carrots the price difference is 20 cents.
everything that's available [p] fruit vegetables meat grains, herbs
fruits vegetables uh lets see honey um see what else thats pretty much it, we usually go to a co-op
its not easily accessible, so we dont. its a question of economics
never meat sometimes fruit vege boxed foods
everything, milk eggs rice oatmeal flour all vegs and fruit bread dogfood seafood
I like buying the meat. I try and buy vegetables.
fruit vegetable dairy products and um breads and some packaged goods. um cookies, crackers um cereal um thats all i can think of
just basically fruits and vegetables and stuff. yeah just fruits and vegatable, like i said i buthcher my own stuff so at least i know where it comes from.no
I don't go to the organic section often, let's put it that way because we grow our own, and we raise beef. And I'm aware of all that kind of stuff. Some of it is overrated, especially where we live. I you lived on the EAst coast or a big city, we aren't e
Always meats and dairy products, and often vegetables and fruits.
everything, form the c-op. such as other suorces. Everything whereever its possible. non organic chocolate, even.
Fruits and vegetables, and sometimes the other two.
uh, it would probably be within the fruit and vegetables category.
fruits and vegetables, dairy products. i don't think we have bought any organic meat yet
well produce (p) vegetables fruits mostly vegetables
fruit, vegetables, dairy and alaskian salmon andhalibut frm raised
It would more likely be fruit and vegetables.
vegetables, some meats but mostly in the vegetable category
Usually fruit and vegetables, and dairy products. SOme meat, but not as often.
um the only thing i think of if fruits, bananas, if they are better. better than the others on the other shelf. is because sometimes the bananas have been pretty well picked over and i see the ones marked organic and they look pretty good. not because th
vegs ,fresh vegetables, and some chickens, and eggs, nothing major
fruit primarily,also bread, frequently every week. no just bread and fruit

like apples and fruits--I'm not sure. my son and daugher-n-law live with me and they buy jost of the food. We live on a farm and we have a lot of apple trees, walnuts, filberts, and others we don't spray.
vegetables and fruit more than meat, i try to make at least once a week for my kids a tossed green salad
all of them, except for dairy, not dairy, snacks and what they have
I buy organic yogurts, vegetables, beef that is field grown and hormone free
too expensive and organic foods is a loaded thing.
never the same. I usually go to the Saturday market and I don't know what I buy. Usually vegetables, not fruit, and I don't have no specific ones.
I don't know, because I don't look for it or pay attention.
depends on where I am shopping, so will include fruits, vegs, meats and dairy products.
um, what comes to mind is prepared food. I don't know if it fits into the category.
tomatoes, vegetables thats pretty much it. they are better than the ones out in the field that taste like styrofoam. they make them for piling 14 feet deep in trucks. organic itself. i wish there was a better labeling system.
fruits vegetables dairy products and meats we are organic growers
Fruit, vegs, dairy products and meat, and more soy products than dairy. Free range is OK too.
fruits and dairy products and vegetables
all of the above. I try to stay away from commercial chicken. If I can get organic chicken, that's what I'll buy, but if I dan't get that I'll stay away from chicken. The same applys to hamburger.
we buy organic vegetables, i buy soup, eggs, milk. there is a section in our market that has organic foods i get most of my groceries there. it's at fred meyers s
usually produce (p) like tomatoes just vegetables probably mostly tomatoes and lettuce
it would probably be fruit or vegetables. we raise lots of our own vegetables and meat
fruits and vegetables and dairy products when we can, when it is available
we buy fruits, vegetables and dairy products
kind of across the board--pretty much everything
Fruit, vegetables, dairy products, meat.
all of those--will buy organic if it's not too high in price
meat, lot of soy, salad dressing, some fruit and veg.
i don't know. if we do it is by accident not intent

well, if we did it would be in the vegetables or fruits
tomatoes, lettuce, onions, salads mostly I buy salad things and fruit

Fruits, vegetables, we eat a lot of dairy products.
if anything it would be fruit and vegetables
dairy, fruit, and vegetables, and juice.

vegetables, and flowers - you know edible, i can bake with
i guess i need a little more clarification on what organic is, fruit and meat
i guess, none come to think of it, because none of the stores around here sell it.
um, i usually buy organic fruit, and vegetables, and um, you know, chicken that doesn't have any chemicals in it, and let me see what else, um, i think that's basicaally it
mostly vegetables, chicken [p] dairy products no meat except for chicken.
Everything is organic, from meat, to fruit, and vegetables, and meat. And I'm poor, but that's what I buy.
um, combination of all dairy products, some vegetables, and um, meat, too,
There's no organic meat. I buy organic fruits and vegetables, or they claim to be organic.
soy milk, vegs and fruits fresh, some canned foods

Reason voted for Measure 27
because of the way i feel about buying organic food and trans fatty acid
cause i wanted to know what i'm going to be putting in my body
That I don't know either(p) I really don't know.
I don't know... so the public know what it is consuming
because there ought to be honesty and integrity
Just because i think people should know.
I believe we should know if anything is different in the foods that might affect our health, such as allergies.
umm i thought that most the western countries have this labeling and i thought that it was in best intrest
i think you have a right to know whats been used in your foods, to many pesticdes used overseas
well we have to standards and that was a step and it gave Oregon had a leader in enviornonmental legistaltion and this was a step in the right direction it may not have been perfection
well, it just seems you're talking to a 73 year old woman here and I was raised on organic foods because my grandparents owned a farm, and I was raised on food, if I wanted to eat a carrot I just went out in the garden and ate a carrot, so I was raised wi
because i do not believe that most of the people understand that mosyt of their food is genetically engineered
i dont' know, cause i think it's a good idea
because I would like to know what is in the food
i know its healthy, health concerns people now adays, so many preservatives are being used now adays its good to know what you're eating
so that people read--so they could know more about it
felt that it was important to know whats in the foods
I know that there are people that do care aboutt he issue even though I don't care aboutt he issue
Because I want to know what is in the food you know what i mean I want to know everything about it I want to support the growers that are doing everything conscienly I have a farmer in the family I have to support the family. I want to support diversity i
I think the public needs to be aware of exactly what they're purchasing.
because i think that the law is very hazy and difficult to understand, so read the labels, hopefully, if you can believe them
if they are going to genetically engineer foods they should be labeled
because i want to know whats in there weather its organic or not
I think it some people should know absoluterly if they buy this
well, I'd been readiang about this trouble with corn, yeah, and that stuff
think if its genetically produced we need to know because we need to know how they come about...and how it might effect us, primary thing you wonder about no matter whtat hey put into it
its nice to know how our food was grown and where it came from....its important to know
i think everybody should know what's in their food
Because I should know the contents of the food that I am eating, and that the public should be aware of what they're buying
I remeber reading that I thought it was too much government interference I'm not ttoo imformed onm the subject but I voted against it
just to you start analyzing that you need to do some analyzing
better for the environment, worker, consumer
Because I think that we need to know what is in the foods we are eating and I think we have a right to know about that particular thing.
because i don't think anybody should be messing around with something that is natural. people should leave things in their natural state
I just think that the public needs to be aware
i don't remember what it said at that time but i thought it best to vote that way
think we aught to know what we're putting into our bodies...we raise organic stuff ourselves
think it's important to anyone to know whats in their food or drugs...if you're going to eat or ingest something, you need know what's in it...
Just so it could be, they could be more accountable I guess, for ensuring it was what it was supposed to be.
i am diabetic the more labeling on things the better
I just feel people have a right to know what they're consuming
i dont want to start a which hunt or anything but we should know, whats in our food
I wanted to make a statement in favor of labeling. I think the public should be aware of what products contain.
i just figured it would help the discerning buyer to make a better decision based on their inklings
I thought they could have more control over how they sell their products (p) like the Farmers or the wholesale people who sell the organic food
at this point I don't know. I think that's the way I voted .. I'm sorry.
well, you've got me there because i haven't though about it. it shouldn't be hidden
I was to know what I'm getting. I do read the fine print. I agreed with the Register-Guard. I remember that.
information in power; you need to know what's going on
because i want to know what's in my food
when we have the labeling for calories, i read lables, we just like to know about the food as much as possible, its very important for small childer, so you know if you are feeding them genetically enginered foods
sounded good, sounded like it needed to be there
Well, I think that they've overdone it. They've totally gotten out of control on genetically breeding things. Nothing is as good as it used to be.
becasue people have the right to know exactly what they are eating. right.
Having lived in Europe, where it is already in place, and to give another option besides "organic" which would allow me to know what I was eating.
like to e an informed consumer, like to know whats going into our food
i want to kow if my foods are genetically engineered or not. i want to have a choice of buying them or not, based on that information.
well i want to know what i am eating and i don't like the idea of genetically engineered products
I think people when they buy foods should know what they are buying, and what it consists of. I don't think the cost would have been prohibitive; I think the big companies spent a lot of money (tons) to fight the measure.
well you need to know whats the contents
well because of all the additives and chemicals, junk they put into food
for information i guess people need to be informed
Just for safety reasons, just so you know what you're eating. I don't think they've done enough studies of the effects.
i believe it is the public's right to know
I think we need to know what we're getting
becasue they dont really knwo the ramifications of that yet, they cont really know th effects of it yet. we have choices in the matter.
bc i want to know what is in the food, if it is irradiated, which can cause cancer
because people deserve to make an educated choice. i wan't information about what i am eating.
um...i think disclosure is good. and they do it in Europe
because I would like to know what is in food, before I find out it is really bad for you
i just think the public has the right to know and producers have the obligation to let them know.
Well for more ontrol fort the public to know what is in everything
so you would know what you were purchasing
if we had to chose think we'd by organic over something marked modified by engineering
i am a commercial fisherman. i catch salmon and farm fish should not be laeled organic.
Just you know because I like to know what I'm eating.
some of the stuff that they are using can be toxic to the system. I am a former nuclear med tech, was working with radioactivites materaisl for over 25 years. i
I should be given a choice I can by it or not buy but I need to know what it is.
I kind a like to know what's in that can--or any thing else. Some things I can't eat.
I am a farmer's daughter, and I believe in eating food that has not been not genetically alteed, and I want to be reassured that it has not
should label what's in food, that way if people are allergic to stuff they'll know what's in food
I think we should know whats in the label regardless of what it is
necessity I think we have to know what our food is about
i want to know what kind of food im eating
um...i just like to know what i'm eating
i wanted to know what was going on with my food
I don't really know, I can't really tell ya.
well I think there's alot of inadequacies in the labeling of foods, so I would like to know that there's some sort of certification process.
one step towards to controlling food in general
simply looking at the lobby that was against it
i want to know if it has been genetically engineered
because i like to know what iam eating, think they're alot of hidden ingridients in our foods.
just awnting people to be aware of what they are eating
I think that should be to let people make their own decisions about the things they buy, and to let them know what they're buying. However, I'm not sure of the accuracy of what I'm reading.
i guess when they started labeling just ingredients in food and I thought that was a good step. I would like to know if things are genetically altered or organic. just for the health of my family, i like to know what i am eating
amm bc i think that more we know the better whatever our opinion is about that issue
because people want to know what they are getting
I just felt that people shjould be aware as possible about the food they are consuming so they make informed choices
distrust of the standars set by the feds
Because that it is the only thing that ahas any logic in it whatsoever
hoping for improvement in the system, by voting that way it shows we care. gets process moving
I feel it's impportant to know what's in our foods.
because i think we should be in control of what gos into our bodies.
i think that the consumer has the right to know
so that we could know what is in the food or how they process it. they put so many hormones in the meat that it affects our children. young girls mature so early, so they feed animals hormones so they would be able to butcher them early. i think lots of p
my major reasonis that genetically engienneed foods run the risk of causing famine is one thing. especially those that are intended as mules are dangerous where they can render sterile normal fertile seeds and farmlands through inadvertant cross breeding.
i just beleive the consumer has a right to know exactly what is in the packaging.
i would like to know whats in my food. i see it as the same as looking at ingredients.
everbody should have to tell us what they are puttiing in our food. i want to know if there is any toxins
So the average citizen would be more informed about what they were buying
read ballot and opinons and chose for the measure
Because we should know what's in our food.
a person need to make choices based upon facts, truth
I just think we ought to be able to know what our food is going through. I don't believe in irradiation or genetic engineering. You can't improve on God.
cause i want to know what i'm eating, i read labels
so that we are more aware of what we eat and can have the choice of what we are eating. knowing whats in it.
bc we are entitled to know wht's in food and how they are grown
I think I have a right to know what is put into that food.
um more awareness um, um to the consumer , more info to the consumer
the major reason was becasue a lack of knowledge of the long range effects of messing around with genetically engineered foods. nope.
people need to know what is in their food, what they are getting and paying for. the labeling is important. basically thats it people need to know what they are eating.
well even if i have to put my glasses on at the grocery store, i want to be able to read what is in there. no thatit
ammm probably medical background, just understanding the science behind it and knowing what it would do to my grandchildren, the effects down the road. i have seen many things in my 59 years. they first say it is safe and later on it is no more safe, mayb
i would personally like to see the ways in which we process our foods change..did it for the overall future out comes...pesticides are no good for us, you're adding chemicals to our bodies you don't need....
i think it is a fair thing to do. anything that is non gmo iam interested in
just i think people should know whats in there food
I think it's important to know what's going into the foods you buy its not asking to much to ask that they label whats in the food you buy
i think that the pulic has a right to know
I think we need to know what we're eating
I think our bodies can use natural foods better.
because i think the public we should know what food is genetically engiennered because we don't know what's going to happen down the line and i think we need to have a choice, informed choice
just to make them put what the hell is on it
good idea , i have grandchinldre, informed choice about gmo's
well, really i don't know the reason why
the health of my family and myself...i think it's frightening not knowing what they are putting into our food
I think that it's important for people to know.
I wanted to know what's in the food. I want to know how it's been processed.
well you should know what you're getting, being informed of what it is you are buying.
Because I don't believe it's a major price impact, and I think people ought to know what they're putting in their bodies. And if they find somebody lying about what they're putting in their food, then they ought to be severely punished. This country see

Reason voted against Measure 27
because i felt that it would be too expensive right off the bat and the public is not as educated about the pros and cons of genetic foods
whasnt anything on tv thats for sure, i just felt that if people want organic foods there are already lables there for them, if people dont want organic food they shouldnt have to pay for those lables
I live in a rural community and I was worried that it would impact my neighbors and farmers that it would it would cause a stigma to any product they tried to sell out of state.
too expensive at this time without proof that there was a problem
I don't know if they are being truthful.
a discussion I had with a neighbor. [p] they had mentioned something about prices going up with the labeling.
well first off i dont think hey have all there stuff togather, the way they wrote it up was all wishy washy
the amount of cost that was going to be added to a system that was already there and in place. it wasn't an immediatel safetly item, there was no need for double or triple redundancy.
um, not quite sure what the ballot measure really meant, i wasn't clear on what it mean.
okay, it goes back to my original statement that the USDA and the health Department have identified what is safe for us to eat, and the fact that you want to tell me tha5t you grew something pesticide free frankly doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling.
um i think it was something like too much read tape
there wasnt really I think there are enough controls basically
enforcement a false sense of security because there would be no enforcement
I think it was a commerical with Khitzabher
because I didnt think it was worded correctoly
i didnt feel the way they had it worded was going to be as honest as it should, it was going to make people have fears that they shouldent
because we one of the few states that were requiring it and it would be hard on the growers if we passed it
I think it's a waste of money and I don't eat organic food.
well because it was agoing to cost a whole lot of money and not do a darned bit of good
the labeling is too xpensiseve for the people that produce the food and it won;'t be that effective
well based on the law already in place and the cost and what it would do to farmers
it was a great idea but poorly written people who write the bills should know about legal issues not just some housewife but its a great idea
The whole idea is stupid. (p) Chemicals are chemicals whether they're natural or man-made. People say "organic" table salt for example might be organic, but it's chemicals.
i don't know, i just didn't believe in it
It's too late. (p) If we had tried to enact this when most foods were not genetically altered, it would make sense to lable them. But now that most are, it makes sense to lable them *not* genetically altered. Less labling.
I felt it was too complex. (p) And would just overall increase the difficulty for farmers to put their food to market. On recommendation of my organic farmer brother-in-law.
probabley becuse they didnt understant they ramifications
because I think its too restrictive that it is rediculous
because it was higher priced, how do we know for sure if it's grown orgainic, i'm questionalbe on that
Because of the expense of changing everthing would make grocery prices go up
They are going at it the wrong way it was very expensive it put our producers in the state in jeopardy We need to avoid distasters for our people. farmers
Because of the cost it would have on producers we are in agricultural field and I know that cost woluld trickle down
economic impact on the state and the farming indusyrty
Because the measure was not fair it wasn't um I don't know how to put it. What they were saying what it was about was not what it was really about It was costing way too much
why would it matter, I mean, I don't think it really matters.
I just thought it really didn't accomplish much for what it would cost.
My major reason was was that the people it was going to affect were farmers and ranchers and stuff and they were against it. I figured they needed help.
Because I thought it would cause more trouble than help.
because the labeling seemed unnecessary and extreme
Probably I was influenced by other people. But I wonder. I can't remember how I voted. It was the publicity that said it was going to cost so much money.
let me think...it's been a little while. I think we have enough information.
because I think it's all smoke and mirrors. I do not think that it is something that you can read and understand.
Because I felt that the way the measure was written was not clear and would cost a lot of Oregon farmers money that they can't afford because of what it required them to do. Oregon farmers are already in trouble financially and I think there is a more co
I think it was just what I read and heard that it really waan't going to help that much and that it was going to cost the people involved in producing food alot of money. I think I also heard that it was going to cost the State some money, and I have a t
The cost (p0 it would increase the cost which would be passed to the consumer.
Not yet defined terms and parameters that are effective and workable. It's a great discussion item but I don't think we have any idea of what we're doing yet.
well it's probably because they haven';t gotten the fine points down yet. (p) i think it is the genetic part of it i am not sure what may come out of it i am not educated enough to know and that maybe a part of it
Because we don't know what they've tried to do or what they are doing with it. And as far as how it is going to affect people's health by eating this. They've tried to improve, in their eyes, and whether or not it really is improved. It think a lot of it
I don't believe in it. I'm not opposed to genetically modified food
because of the increase impact on cost it would have on farmers
because the government has already put out lables why duplicate it
that the concept is good, but the measure was poorly written. Too badley worded.
because I am not against finding a better way to grow food,
well I was swayed by the television advertisements that were farm families speaking on t.v.
hard enough for people to make a living without adding more complications
um, the presumed problems with labeling and distribution between states
i do not think there is that great of a division
my understanding of it was that it was gonna put too many restrictions on things, and it wasn't going to label it properly,
my husband is a transportationa broker, he is a great broker, and non of the farmer that he serve nor the truckers thtat work for him wanted that, they felt that it would cripple their business, and so nobody in the transportation industry wanted that rea
I don't see any problem with genetically engineered food.
um, i don't really care if they were labeled or not, and they complained that they would put farmers out of business. I have several relatives who are farmers and they are struggling enough.
my major reason was that they had worded the law so generally and it was going to have such a negative impact on food producers here in the state of the ORegon, it was economically not feasible for food producers in this state. think that genetically fo
felt it would not do any good, would be a waste of money
just the way i thought [p] it's not necessary.
i didn't think it was accurate enough, we need more time to understand exactly what it meant.
because the fed standard went into effect recently prior to that
because i didnt think the benefit would out weight the cost
didnt want to cause the farmers any more money
the cost and the problems it was going to provide for the growers and producers
because the specific things they were going to label....what they were going to lable wasn't sufficient for over working they farmers...in favor of the farmers
idon't think it needs to be labled...think its up to us to make our own decisions without hte government telling us what that is
because of the commercials i had seen agagint the labeling it would cost the farmers itself much more money and that oregon was the only state that was requiring it. no
I think another expense is not necessary. We don't nee it and I cant see where it would help
um concerned about hte expense and um its a um too much of a political um not necessarily scientific rationale behind the ballot measure. no
I thought it would be a lot less expensive to label things asnatural than to label things as organic
everything is already genetically atered. It would be excessive labeling
uh just thoughjt that it should be a federal plan not just a state.
cost too much money and too much red tape.
um, i thought it would have negative impact. and i thought it would have no impact on making the foods any safer.
bc i though it was not cost effective, i thought it was a rip off for tax payers
because I didn't think the farmers to have to pay for expense
need to do more rewording, needed reworked
Because I don't think that we have to label everything.
I believe genetically engineered food is fundamentally harmless. I don't see it as a health problem but as a political issue.
because i dont think you can always believe what they say on the labels
wellI just think that we're going to have to do something we are running out of land to grow foods
Uh, just didn't feel that it really mattered. People are going to eat shitty stuff no matter what.
Too harsh(P)the levels in the bill were too low.
oh i guess because there were more people against than for. when they said something about haveing to do special labels, goodness, we have to read enough labels.
some of the arguments in the voter's pamphlet seemed to be reasonable
the cost and the ambiguity of the way that the law was written
honestly I did not believe it is necessary, and is much too expensive
it's just like every new thing; it costs money. I don't think we need to spend that kind of money when the state is laying off teachers and police officers. Cut the legislatures salaries instead of the teachers.
Uh, the cost, I believe, to the taxpayers, and what our community would cost here.
it just wasnt right I agree with the concept but I didnt agree with that particular measure it went too far
bc the farmers income would have been jeopardized. i use to be a farmer and i know it would have cost a lot for a small farmer to label everything
you know i really don't remember why I voted this way but i know i voted against it
i dont really care becuz i dont read the labels that closely
i think it is too much. It was not appropraitely written.
aaah tv advertisings, sometimes when you are voting they word things so that you are not sure what they mean, have to be very careful. i think organic food is a good thing, but it is just the way it was written
I thinks were going along before imposing any more standards on the poor farmers.
the impact it would have on the farmers i feel it would just ecnourage large conglomerates and take away from the small farmer. thats the only reason, i believe in it and it would work but it would cause the small famrer to go out of business and make les
i thought it would cost farmers moremoeny, the local
It didn;t seem to be fair in realtion to nonorganic products you don't always know what you're eating there either the lables aren't very clear the standards would not be the same
already have labeling, there would be financial stress on companies which puts it on the people
Because I believe gentically altered food are going to be the only safe way that we can feed the masses. I do not believe that some gentically altered foods are bad for you I think its a move in the right direction
bc i think they have been proven to be safe, more productive, can provide food for the masses, for the poor countries. but the propaganda is such that even countries in south africa reject it though they are starving
because it's a pointless piece of legislation. Genetically engineered foods are not the same as foods with pesticides or meats injected with hormones
well I know some friends that have been in the agricultural business and they thought it was not proper so I listened to them since I dont know much about it
just the fact to get all that information it takes so much labeling space, and I can't read those small words
I just thought it was an extra costly burden. I didn't think it was a good bill.
because I thought it was very unfair to ask Oregon to do that when you didn't ask the other 49 states to do that, I thought it gave ORegon agriculture a very negative position
Because I figured it was going to be too high of a cost and I didn't believe that genetically enhanced foods would have to be labelled. You couldn't buy bread because they are all genetically enhanced if you grow wheat in winter. It is all silly. And spea
i guess probable the economic impact as it was presented. It was prtrayed in the media
We raise livestock and it is a bunch of baloney.
Its goinna cost alot of moeny and it is not really neccssary
primarily it was an enforcement issue. There's no way they can create a bureaucracy that can enforce all this. And it was financially infeasible.
I didn't feel like I had enough information on the issue.
I think there is better way to work out what is labeled orgainc rather than a law that is so broad covering it all
I just didn't think we really needed somthing like that
not really sure if we can really trust the labeling after going through all the expense
I didn't see the benefits, for me it wouldn't make a differnce in what I bought.
I voted against because it basically says it already.
seems to me like it was putting an extra cost on things that wasnt necessary
i from what i read the pros and cons it was not worth the effort put into it. just that it seems too restrictive, i dont remember it well, i just remember votin against it.
I didn't see that it was going to do much good. Actually, the advertising against it was very effective. They really went all out on that one, and I thought they made sense.
I thought it was goiing to cost the farmers too much money they need to change the wording a little
publicity oppossed to the labelling by farmers
i don't want our foods to be chemically altered
the effect that it would have on the farmers
bc i don't know if they have it totally together. i guess they should need to prove it to me that they actually are going to do it, it's gonna work. not just people paying more money, especially when it comes to gov't they have to prove that they are goin
because some stuff you cant label you increase the box size so the label can be read with all the government organizations that are paid for they already have stuff in place to take care of it and some people dont even read it
ah, the complexity of the way it was written
don't like government getting into anything period..especaill y the federal government
uh...just felt that to do it just ofr oregon whas too expensive an annietiation
ah economically the cost of the labling far exceeds the good it's going to do because they aren't going to be honest anyway...drive cost up and put farmers out of business
i would much rather they label foreign foods than the others because foreign foods they can spray with anything they want...
I just thought it was uncalled for, unnnecessary, and a big burden to the taxpayer. Just driving the cost of government up.
um... i didn't think that it was well written
I just didn't think that it would be all that effective, to tell you the truth. And that it was costly.
aaa, i just didn't think it was presented proprly snd didn't have all the details of how it would be done presented
i think it is poor economy, it costs too much for what it is worth
my reasoning was that it is going to cost so much money to the people who are in business in the grocery stores. i just thought it would cost them so much money
i would have to read the thing again, i don't even remember
aam, it would have cost more for the farmer and be more confucing
It was badly composed; the wording needed to be re-worked and sent back.
we were afraid it was going to increase the price of all food
because the fed government alrady had some stautes in the works
I don't hold with the faults they claim for it
I looked at the cost to producers and I know a lot of organic farmers are small operations they need to make the law alittle more producer friendly. They were asking for more information than the normal ma and pa organic producer could provide and they we
it seemed that a lot of that stuff was in place already and some of the requirements wouldn't make a difference
There wasn't enough detailed information to meet my satisfaction as listed on the ballot measure.
basically organi food is just too costly to label that stuff, its a slight differance more of a political thing than a health issue
because of some material I read, ( pause )that we would be either the only state, or in aminority of states to do this, and that it would be extremely costly
i just think its an added expense if people want to eat organic food they know where to get it.
Way too broad a measure, wanting every single thing produced labeled.
because it would have such and impact on the farmers--I heard they couldn't aford to send out of the country or produce and put it on the market
Enough government control!!! We don't need anymore.
just the way that i felt, it was just more interruptions from the state government and stuf
my husband was a farmer and influenced me
two reasons one i didn't think it would help and two I 'm not sure I trust the labels. Finally, I don't thjik people read.
actually we have friends who are farmers who explained the economic problems it would cause them.
because I thought it was a scam and written poorly
au...oh, i guess because it should be a federal standard not just a state standard
because people should be able to know what is altered and if they dont' want to buy it they dont...and if others don't care if altered or not fine dont buy it or not...but those who want to know should be able to know...
cost i thought it was an inproper cost. no thats it.
um i try to put a view on cost and farmer driving up the cost from undue restrictions and the cost of things.
agricultureal standpoint if they had to oregon exports have to unfairly be labeled copared to the competion.the same idea as in the store unlabeled products have to stand out and harm the sales, or affect the sales.
because I didn't feel it was neccessary there's alreadyt enough reguylations
Because I think it is too much red tape for the farmers; too much hassle for what the consumers would get out of it.
my major reason was for the cost purpsoes to do all that
I get so tired of labels it increases the cost and doesn't serve a big purpose, how do you label meat you got stamp it then wash it
Did not think it was necessary, due to costs.
um...the term organic refered to, didn't know exactly what organic meant w/out reading the label myself, the term organic wasn't well defined...when i read the label it isn't really organic but a selling tool...
I thought it would hurt the small independent growers
it would probably raise the cost of things and its not some things don't have anything dangerous in it that it needs to be labeled
it was ridiculous, it costs the consumers and owners too much money, and it was not worth it
because i know it goes more into depth than what they acutally give on the voting ballot, i know it would only go for products in oregon and no other state
With us, it would have been a major economic disruption, because for us (we're farmers) to label our product just in this state would be an unfair burden to us as producers.
i cant answer that, it didn't make any sense to me as I recall
Um, I just thought that it wasn't necessary to label.
Um, it seemed to me that science was not brought into the equation. Though evolution, all things evolved. The earth has gone through some catastrophic things, but it has recovered, not necessarily unchanged. There are no more dinosaurs. But until some
welll because in the voters pamphlet the opinions i read by farmers seemed they were pretty much against it. the concern was expense and packaging which made sense to me.
bc it was confusing for the consumer, i don't think it is necessary
bc it would cost so much trouble for so many growers and labelers
I bought into the fact that it would be more red tape for the farmers.
that it was going to be more costly than it was worth
i just felt it was a little bit too much all at one time. like everything else, slowly work it in, it was a good idea, just not all at once.
I believe the labeling was flawed. Too many problems with it.
because the more government interferes in our life the more trouble we will get into. they will eventually get into our home.
I think it's a bunch a bull and it costs people money
aamm i guess the hardships it would create for farmers
didn't think it would have a major impact on the situation
i voted against it bc what it would cost
bc i though that it would be decieveing for public what truely....i don't know good for them. i forgot the whole issue
because it's a confused issue and each side is lying, it's not an either or, well the thing is that we wouldn't have corn, and the beef as we know it now, and the pork as we know it now. They make it sound like they inject some nuclear substance. But i
Oh, just, not to put too many more restrictions, or costs, on people. You know, the processors.
doesn't seem like it was going to be upheld
cause i don't think it's anything to be concerned about
It seemed like it would cost an awful lot of money to make the changes; I feel that a lot of th labeling is pretty good already.

i think surveys need the ability to qualify the answers individually asopposed to a scale of 1-5, which is what they do. You cant quantify some thoughts and that being by quantifying on a scale of 1-5. you need the ingredient that allows the comment to q
