Just a few thoughts. I find it somewhat hypocritical that an anti-gmo bill would grandfather gmo corn and papaya since corn especially would be used has feed stock mainly for dairy. If your concern is health and gmo's getting into your food, you would include these too.
Also Senator Ruderman represents the poorest district in Hawaii, if he is concerned about his
constituents then why would he be for a bill that will increase food prices and decrease sustainability. The people he represents are not gonna buy the $10 a dozen organic eggs or $4 can of chili he sells. They are going to McDonalds dollar menu (thats why I don't buy the conflict of interest). Is that a better choice?
Finally here's my organic horror story. My wife and daughter love salads. I am not too crazy for them but I'm a weightlifter/bodybuilder so clean food is important. We bought organic lettuce from a local famers market. My wife and daughter consumed said lettuce and contracted Rat Lung. We cannot prove it came from the lettuce because by time we figured out what they had and where it came from the evidence was gone. Do you know how the doctors relieve the pressure this parasite causes in the brain? They have to do spinal taps and remove fluid every few hours.
This is why I fully endorse spraying crops here in Hawaii especially where bugs never seem to die and mold is the state flower. If you're so scared of gmo's, don't eat them. Non-gmo products are out there.
