Box 391074 RECEIVED Kailua Kona Hi. 96739 Tune--~_~S_--_1 By--~' May 9, 1997 Date.------~~15-1~~---------- County Council To Whom it may concern; I am writting because I am totally against Mayor Yamashiro's proposed food irradation plant! I was under the impression we live in a democratic country, yet Mr. Yamashiro is running this beautiful island like a dictatorship! Why will he not listen to the people who live here? The very people that are suppose to buy the fruit he wants to irradiate, don't want it! Who are the consumer terrorists here anyway? The Japanese have said they will boycot all Hawaiian produce, thousands of people have taken the time to write from the mainland(many more feel this way that haven't), people have come to the hearings to protest this, written letters to the newspapers, everyone I've discussed this with is against it. Why does he close his mind to the truth, instead of listening to the propaganda of the people that want to build this plant? I believe he and possibly some of the council members must have a vested int-erest to push through this plant when no one wants it. Further I believe that he will probably propose some new laws that will force farmers to use this plant if they want to ship produce off island. Thereby creating more hardship for the people who work so hard to make a living here. Lastly, our Hawaiian fruit will rot in the stores or seriously injure those who buy it. Not today, or tomorrow, but in the near future. Does he really want to be the cause of cancer in so many? We live in one of the richest countries in the world, yet because of modern technology, food processing and conveniences, we are not eating and preparing food as God intended us to.Even the most potent metabolic enzynes in our digestive tracts, cannot cannot extract energy from food molecules whose electro-magnetic valence has been altered or distroyed by chemical additives, gamma radiation, or microwave cooking, because damaged molecules do not react and combine normally with enzymes and biochemicals and therfore do not yield much viable energy. Instead they can cause faulty biochemical reactions that are contributing causes of cancer. Only natural foods consumed in a relatively natural state produce wholesome natural energy in the body. We are reaping the rewards of these actions with a society full of cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, children with A.D.D.e~!'c. Many of these diseases were extreamly rare or non-existant 50 years ago. Our hospitals are underfunded, needed services will not be available soon. Our children's futures are being eroded by education cutbacks because there is supposedly not enough money. Yet there is enough money for Mr.Yamashiro's "dream project", that no one wants or needs. He is commiting a crime to steal our taxpayers money where it's needed most! I pray that it's not too late to stop Mr. Yamashiro in this folly! Yours truly ~~~'c / 'F.-%~?1? Lr Amin. Jio.
