HA; II Sent: Saturday, December 03, 2011 4:56 PM To: counciltestimony @co.hawaii.hi.us 7011 DEC -5 AM 37 Subject: URGENT! / HSAC Package Importance: High I would like to know why you chose to remove the item that included mandatory GMO labeling on food products from the HSAC package? I am a resident of Hawaii, and I want to know what is in the food I am eating, and I certainly will not tolerate someone like yourself deciding that for me! Monsanto, a chemical company that has caused the unprecedented deaths of countless people through its hasty business making decisions to drive profits for investors, is somehow now managing the world's food supply. I would not touch anything associated with Monsanto. Already we are seeing what GMO foods do to communities - in India the BT Cotton has upset indigenous farming practices and has caused mass suicides among farmers whose GMO crops have failed. New research is finding how GMO tainted food is causing cancers, and allergies and all kinds of BAD THINGS. GMO it's a dead-end road. It's equal to poison - . much like the Agent Orange developed by the same corporation. GMO's are not going to feed the world's hungry people, this is an outright lie. The truth is, that GMO's will devastate the natural environment and our natural food sources. They need to be stopped. In the interim, all the poisoned food that sits on supermarket shelves needs to be labeled so that informed consumers have a CHOICE. The public has a right to know what is in their food. GMO has not been properly tested and there are many problems already associated with them. The rest of the world is savvy to this and that is why labeling already exists in many leading western countries where Monsanto does not have influence on government. Your information on research is based predominantly on propaganda reports issued by Monsanto. There are many individuals who know how the inside operations of Monsanto work, and you can easily find them online. Why don't you watch this particular interview on how Monsanto manipulated the mainstream media to hide all the facts on Bovine tainted milk in Florida, DESPITE the fact that THEY KNEW it caused health issues. Is this the type of corporation you are allowing to control our FOOD SUPPLY? http: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7ZpcPQP3yg If Monsanto is the governing force on whether GMO foods are labeled then I will embark on a major online media campaign to build awareness of this. Please note that I take this matter seriously and am educating the hotel community on this issue. HotelExecutive.com is read by more than 80, 000 hotel owners, operators and senior executives. Untested genetically modified food making its way to hotel food and beverage operations is a big deal, and affects a large proportion of hotel business.
