not only should we HAVE the choice of whether or not to eat GMO products.. we should have the right to say NO to them having fields in such a heavily populated area like Hawai'i! Hawai'i has such a fragile eco system that the slightest changes from their GMO products could have horribly drastic effects on Hawai'i and its residents! America should follow the lead of many other countries in banning GMO products!! Are they waiting for americans to sprout a third arm??

youre the fucking fool. you have no idea what a genetically modified disaster can do to people and the surrounding environment. Maybe you better do some research before you start calling people fools you fuck tard.

the only altnerative is in is to seed in natural variants back into the new changed genomes products

@mahilaniv don't be a fool and make this a local vs. haoles" issue. this haole has lived in Hawaii for almost 40 years and I've been active in the anti-GMO movement for 15 years.

Enough talking, filing lawsuits, and dancing hula in front of these fools. Those tactics will not make them stop. Burn their fields. Spray roundup on their fields(may not work on Monsanto's crops). Steal some of their experimental corn crops then make friends with these UH "researchers" and then bake up some delicious cornbread for them.

Psst be careful.. It's the same haoles. Different games, same intentions. Shelfish, always fuckin things up. Just look at their past history. Full of filth!

spread organic heirloom food seed far and wide protect heirloom genes,its"johnny appleseed economics"or"gorrila gardens"spread more organic food than GMOand you will water down the effects and if everyone becomes self suffcient at their homes it will stop GMOright in its tracks,if there is enough people it will save our food system,thats how you win! wake up everyone,do your part if u are angry,get seed and SPREAD THE ORGANIC SEED EVERYWHERE TELL OTHERS

AN ARMY IS AS STRONG AS ITS STOMACH

When I lived Maui in the late 90's, I lived next-door to a guy who worked at the experimental farm in Kihei where they did "Genetic Engineering".

@mamoahina Well, now this is just awesome. Someone necroposts something into my inbox without raising any valid points.

Their response starts off by wrongly assuming I wanted the video in another language; in truth, I wanted something a bit more reasonable than a biological war of Biblical proportions. Sorry, I guess I was ambiguous.

And yes, the research may be overwhelming. Thousands on thousands of tests confirming GMOs are not only present in nature but also safe. What does it mean??

@mamoahina Hell yeah, death to Norman Borlaug!

He's the ringleader of the genetic engineering sons of bitches ya know?
