This seems to be an effort to aid the small rancher or small farmer.
The corn up the coast is GMO, we know what would happen if "certain" people found out it was being used to feed cattle.
The large ranchers have found just grass fed cattle is not marketable on the island and have found it more economical to grass feed the cattle here and ship them to the mainland for grain feeding finishing, while getting a higher price.
This means this island is growing in its opinion that total importation of food is "sustainable".
This is already hitting the snarky wit online comment area sites, and they aren't in Hawaii:
"let's start the protests!"
"Is it a 30 meter slaughterhouse???"
"Aloha also means goodbye. Aloha!"
