Subject: Bill 113
It is imperative that the Council pass this bill. The testimony against it by "scientists" must be taken in
context. At land grant universities, such as UH, agricultural research is mostly funded by agribusiness
and biotech corporations. I have served on graduate student committees and scrutinized their research at
another land grant university. They and their mentors are experts at splicing genes and creating herbicide
resistance, but do no research at all on the presence and effects of poisonous chemicals that may infuse
and remain in the cellular structure of the plants that survive an herbicide onslaught. They have even
less idea about the effects on humans who eat these plants because their funders don't want to know.
Please keep Hawaii Island residents free from being guinea pigs for Monsanto.
