Thanks for the great comments,
Here is another article on the taro issue.

Also a good movie to watch is called The Future of Foods. It's great that the community is educating themselves on this issue which was allowed to happen in Hawai`i because the people in general didn't know anything about it and so the politicians allowed open field testing on Molokai, Kaua`i and the papaya's on the big island. I heard that some people got hired to go into peoples yard (telling them how much better the gmo papaya's were) and cutting down papaya trees and passing out the seeds in Ka`u. Several years ago. So we are the tests subjects. Gmo's have not been tested for human consumption yet the EPA allowed it to be inserted in our regular foods that we buy off of the shelf. Kraft I hear is a big one.
