<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Kisa V. <br /> 01-23-07 <br /> <br /> What do I think about GMO testing on taro? 1 Y1 ~ ("a & uc Y'& Y-~' V <br /> <br /> Aloha my name is Temukisa Von der Heyden..i'am attending a New Century Hawaiian <br /> <br /> Public Charter School named Kann o ka `Aina. I am in the seventh gradefxt*what I ° <br /> <br /> Think about the genetically modified Kalo is it is wrong to mess with our cultural and <br /> <br /> useful plants that have lasted for many years. I think that our plants don't need to be <br /> <br /> modified because they have lasted this long and will do fine without any experiments <br /> <br /> done to them. These experiments are like an abuse and a threat to the Hawaiian culture. <br /> <br /> The modifications may also cause problems for our children, grandchildren and many <br /> P~~yr vs <br /> other relatives ~This also-seurse and it-is alsadisresspectful-to 1®ave <br /> _s- <br /> sii~urden-with-eer-famiiies' -futures <br /> <br /> wQdd Zht now, as much ajitsaillin4w4uPme, If this GMO <br /> <br /> testing goes on more varieties of our food will be more dangerous and risky to eat. <br /> <br /> Modifications have already affected papayas, wheat, corn, and animals. GMO foods have <br /> <br /> been fed to animals, which could change the animal food chain and ruin the meat that my <br /> <br /> ancestors and your ancestors have been eating for many, many centuries before us. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> •1 1 V r <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 0 <br /> - Comm.
