ALOHA My Name Is 'Ike Payne,
And we on Hawaii island and in the world as a whole are standing in a wonderful point to be-able
to stop the progression of GMO production here in Hawaii its not just enough to limit or stop more
GMO product from entering, being grown or processed here in Hawaii we most also remove the
ideas that GMO'ing food or anything else is unnatural and unhealthy for the populous as a whole.
Along with making farmers pay large amounts of money to certify that they are growing organic
foods. if no where else than here its at the utmost importance for Hawaii to be a GMO free zone.
our families depend on fresh healthy food not grown or injected with thing that in the long run can
make us sick.food should not be controlled by corporations and be for the highest bidder.. GMO's
are an easy way out of doing the work that makes food so delicious.(IE-like looking for non toxic
fertilizer and nutriments or pesticides that will cause no harm to anyone that might eat it, IE-food
is suppose to change colors its how you are able to tell when it is good or has gone bad, and pest
should be dealt with responsibly by the farmers so that they have a hands-on approach to what is
needed to ensure there crops success health wise and non toxic to the environment) it should be
more important to think about the health of our people than the money some farmer may loose
for choosing to be a GMO farmer,they made the choice taking the easy way out,who does it help
in the long run.. only them and their pockets when farming and growing healthy food takes a
back seat to genetically modified foods we really must look at what were doing and how much we
really value our health and the health of the families that eat our food.
mahalo for reading,
Ike payne
