Unlike Kauai, which struggled - but failed - to ban GMO crops, the Big Island of Hawaii is doing exactly that.
This week,  the Hawaii County Council passed a bill that prohibits biotech companies from operating on the Big Island.
Violators will be fined $1000 a day.
Passed
 in a 6-3 vote, it exempts the 200-plus papaya farms on the island - 
most of which are planted with GMO trees. Another version of the bill 
would also have banned GMO papayas and sent violators to jail instead of
 being fined.

GMO-Free Hawaii is thrilled: 
The governing 
council for Hawaii (or Big) Island Tuesday banned biotech companies from
 operating on the island while barring growth of genetically modified 
organisms.
The Hawaii County Council approved Bill 113 by a vote 
of 6-3, which would mandate a possible 30 days in jail and up to a 
$1,000 fine for any violator of the ban on growing genetically modified 
organisms (GMOs) on Big Island, officially known as Hawaii Island, the 
largest and southernmost of the Hawaiian state.
The bill also 
keeps out biotech giants like Monsanto, Dow and BASF, which have 
operations on other Hawaiian islands. One of them, Kauai, recently 
advanced its own legislation that increases regulation of biotech 
companies there.
The large papaya industry, with around 200 farms
 on Big Island, would be exempt from the bill, which was supported over a
 competing bill that that would have subjected papayas to the rules.

Keep
 in mind that more than 95%+ of our current [US] corn production is GMO,
 and that it is in virtually ALL processed foods containing 'corn', as 
well as the myriad corn components found in nearly everything, like: 
corn syrup [ and solids], corn oils, corn sugar, corn starch, fructose, 
high-fructose, corn sweeteners, and so on....and on...
Look at your 
food labels. It's in almost everything, and in virtually all our meats, 
eggs, and poultry as well, because all our livestock and animals are fed
 GMO corn (yup, 'poison by proxy'). This has serious heath consequences;
 What this means is that not only are we being robbed of nutritive value
 by eating this 'food-like product' (and byproducts), but, we are also 
adding to our toxic load by these contaminants (see charts in the cited 
article, above); it's a double-edged sword--a no-win scenario.

president for Monsanto, a multinational interested in marketing 
genetically modified (GM) food. It was during his term that GMO's were

The question of 
whether or not genetically modified foods (GMO's) are safe for human 
consumption is an ongoing debate that does not seem to see any 
resolution except in the arena of public opinion. Due to lack of 
labeling, Americans are still left at a loss as to whether or not what 
is on the table is genetically modified. This lack of information makes 
the avoiding and tracking of GM foods an exercise in futility. Below are
 just some of the food products popularly identified to be genetically 
modified:

why is the papaya crop exempt - its GM? This just shows how niave the activists are. Their goal is anti company not anti GM or safety. Organic food has actually killed people ------think out that for a moment ---its true
ReplyDeleteGM food is not nutritionally dead - the most advanced biochemical analyses show no differences - apparently some thing nutrition is a kind of religious metaphysical thing --it isn't. For goodness sake get an education in science before you start trying to practice it
