<br /> <br /> <br /> Kaniela Anakalea-Buckles <br /> Kanu o ka `ain: <br /> Grade <br /> 11 years olc <br /> Supporter of the bil <br /> <br /> Testimony <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Aloha! My name is Kaniela. I am a student of Kanu o <br /> ka `Aina, and I am a supporter of the bill to stop the <br /> GMO testing on kalo. The reason I am supporting this <br /> <br /> bill is because the kalo is our native Hawaiian people's <br /> older brother, Haloa. Therefore, the kalo is a very <br /> important part of our people's culture. Not only that, <br /> <br /> but it is one of our peoples greatest and favorite foods. <br /> Some people were fed poi as a baby and it could <br /> impact them greatly. It might affect them emotionally. <br /> <br /> Knowing that there most loved food is becoming to a <br /> point where they have to buy poi to get them. I don't <br /> think that these people will give up eating their <br /> <br /> childhood food. Also, if we eat it and it does do <br /> something harmful to our bodies, some people could <br /> be hurt. So I think that we should leave it as it is. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Comm.
