Subject: Support of Bill #79 Prohibition of GMOs
Aloha.
I fully support Bill#79, Prohibition of GMOs for the County of Hawaii.
No controlled human trial studies exist on Genetically Modified Organisms. BioTech claims GMO's are "substantially
equivalent" to natural plants, but for their patents, GMOs are "substantially transformed". That type of double dealing
is unacceptable in Hawaii.The BioTech Ag Companies fail to abide by the "PreCautionary Principle" when bringing their
product to market.
Our fragile environment and ecosystem require us to be extra vigilant as stewards of the land for future generations.
