Hawaii is the world's leading producer of genetically engineered (GE) seed corn. It is now our state's number one crop, according to the Hawaii Department of Agriculture (HDOA).
The well known Monsanto "BT Corn" is not the only genetically modified crop in Hawaii. Many of the fruits and vegetables that are grown here on Maui are already GMO's. The majority of papayas grown on 170 farms on Oahu and the Big Island are genetically modified. Pick up a box of cereal or other packaged food at the grocery store, and chances are you’re looking at a genetically modified product. The center for Food Safety estimates that more than 70 percent of the processed foods in U.S. grocery stores contain some genetically modified ingredients — mostly corn or soy. Products that contain pesticides, which were purposely engineered into the foods that we eat, pose serious dangers to our health and to our delicate ecosystems.
