   Washington state is the next battleground in an ongoing
effort by food activists to get products containing genetically
engineered ingredients labeled. California voters rejected a
similar initiative 51.4% to 48.6% in a bruising and expensive
election in 2012.    The labeling effort is being funded by
grass-roots donations and a large contribution from Dr.
Bronner's Magic All-One, a California soap company founded in
the 1960s. It is known for labels featuring fine print
advocating world peace and admonitions to dilute the liquid soap
for multiple uses.  "This is about chemical companies buying up
the seed companies," said David Bronner, president of the
company, on a video prominently placed on its website. Opponents
to labeling "understand that if they lose in Washington state,
game over," he said of why the company is supporting the
initiative and encouraging others to do so.  The Washington
state effort is part of an ongoing fight by those opposed to
genetically engineered crops to push for labeling.
