Subject: GMOs
Please ban gmo's-these poisonous seeds are killing the bees, and other insects, poisoning our streams, attacking
immune systems-the plants are producing pollens that endanger other food sources-the crops promised by GMOs are
not producing yields that were promised, and then more chemicals are used to try to correct the bad yields.The food
that is produced may very well cause stomach ulcers and asthma, among other things- so the food produced is probably
not good for us.This has to be stopped. Especially because companies such as syngenta, pioneer and Monsanto have no
interest in our health and will continue to poison our food with roundup or neonicotinoids. If nothing else ban these
chemicals to try and save the bees- I don't have to go into the important a of bees-we all learned about their
importance in kindergarten- Europe has begun to ban GMOs- let's have Hawaii take the lead.Thank you for your time
and I urge you to do the right thing and ban these things .
