Subject: I support THE GMO BILL#113
I have taught a class at Hawaii Community College, called "Ecology and Society"
for the last 4 years. The topic of GMO's has been a primary focus of my study
and research due to its huge consequences on our health.
It is imperative that we now recognize how this direction of"bio-tech food" taken many
years ago (beginning in Hawaii with research on Maui in the 1970's) will have enormous
consequences. There is a tremendous amount of independent research in this matter
that has been done in the last 10 years.
Kauai set a very recent example with the council override of the Mayoral veto.
The Big Island need follow suit and exclude this harmful GMO development in food
to be ended as soon as possible. If we do not, I can assure you, that we will
live to regret the consequences to our families, and especially our children.
