1. That's a nice blog.

I support GMO labeling 100%. I do confess though to having eaten a few Rainbow Papayas, but yeah they were bland compared to the non-GMO Sunrise papaya I was able to buy once. I think that's the best selling point, GMO produce lacks flavor! Are Hamakua tomatoes and Manoa lettuce non-GMO?

2. I sure don't know,

we need labeling, that's why...there are codes, right? But I don't know what they are.

Pretty sure the Hamakua tomatoes are GMO because the buggers are soooo 'ono. Manoa lettuce has been around forevers though, so should be not GMO.

Till we have a labeling law, who knows, right?

aloha Ellizonz, good to see you.

4. Exactly.

When neither of us knows if two of the most commonly consumed, marketed, and popular local produce is GMO or not, it's definitely time for labeling. I think it would be great if Hawaii took the lead.

Good to see you too!

5. If you scroll down on Doug's blog, you'll see a pie chart

with GMO labeling testimony for and against.

Pretty green...8% of the testimony was against. Grrrrr

3. Listen to Uncle Walter Ritte speaking about how Monsanto can stay on Molokai, when Molokai kicks

so many others out...they are sneaky, that's why! They are sneaks!
