Subject: In direct support of Bill 109
If GMO is so great, grand and wonderful, why have so many South American, European, African and
Asia/Pacific countries either placed restrictions, demanded and got labeling, banned them altogether and
or burned the crops? Whenever the public declares loud enough they do not want a product or service
from industry, the industry whines to government to protect it from the evil consumers. It doesn't seem
to make a difference which level of government, although federal seem to be their preferred weapons
against the public, they pour money into someone and then those who disagree with industry are forced
to go up against unjust laws that were either influenced or crafted by industry. They know many of us
don't want their products, which they insist on cramming down our throats, which I find
unconscionable.
Other than the 2 year French Study, there has never been a satisfactory long term study of the effects of
genetically modified organisms on class mammalia, of which felines and humans are members.
Monsanto's study lasted 90 days, but during the 2 year study (which had to be held in the deepest of
secrecy to prevent sabotage from the GMO producer), the rats were fed GMO maize and developed
tumors around 120 days into the experiment. They were not force fed, but allowed to eat as rats (the
cute and cuddly 4 legged kind) normally eat. In my opinion and that of many others, rather than waste
the 4 legged rats, we should be using the GMO executives (as opposed to the cute and cuddly four
legged kind) and their families as the lab rats. If it's safe, then they shouldn't have any problems with
that. We are told that even in Monsanto cafeterias, there is a choice for those who do not want GMO in
their food. Scientists who designed the rBST for cows either quit drinking milk or bought their own
cow. Does that tell you anything? If you have to constantly buy their seeds, that is not sustainable,
especially on an island which could be cut off from the rest of the world.
Their biochemical warfare agent is a systemic, as it enters via the root system and is distributed through
the entire plant and can't simply be washed off prior to consuming. This brings us back to testing, as
they must know it isn't safe, but they don't care about that, as they are only interested in sales. The pro
GMO faction paid $46 million dollars to prevent California's Prop 37 from passing; whereas, the
organic supporters paid $9 million to support it on a very uneven battlespace which many still believe
included vote manipulation. If it's that safe, why did they pay out that much to prevent Prop 37 from
passing'? I make warfare analogies not just because I am a Veteran of Military Service, but because any
control of the food supply is class warfare, is not sustainable and intolerable. I consider GMO so nasty,
I don't want my cat eating them.
