When the biotech industry decides to use the lands and people of Hawaii as its test guinea pig, local farmers, activists, researchers, and others speak out. This excellent documentary was made in 2006 by Na Maka o ka Aina for Earthjustice, the non-profit public interest law firm, and is re-presented with permission.

just burn them off the island. chop and burn all there crops.
@pitbrand well I am eating a lot of poison because 95% of what I eat is GMOS.
Sucks Brah.
While it may or may not be true that GMO foods are bad for you why stop there? Let’s spread the blame around a bit. Cell phones and their wireless land line relatives, laptop computers, large screen flat tv’s, high tech automobiles, computers, and all the other conveniences of modern life. Let’s get rid of them all. After all, life was much better in the stone age!
@Farmerjohnist What about a slow process of two different seeds, growing in the same field? I don’t agree with forcing NATURE ya know, that thing we’re all made from that we constantly take for granted? I mean, it’s been around a LOT longer then us, I think it knows a hell of a lot better us – GMO’s are F-ed up, period It’s not precise, it’s not natural and it has bad side effects Just cuz you don’t sprout cancer or become infertile in a few days, doesn’t mean it’s not slowly mutating you
Regarding so-called terminator genes, they already exist without the aid of GMO. They are called hybrids. Seeds from so-called “terminator genes” can, if one were inclined to do so, be planted and will grow. They will not give you a true to type plant. This is exactly what happens with hybrids. If we are against GMO then we must be against hybrids as well!
GMO food will destroy the worlds food.. they plan to irradicate all natural food sources and seeds.. boycott the corps, gmos and monsanto..! campaign to remove gmo testing and at least for GM labelling..
Watch the You Tube video..’The Future of Food’ to learn how criminal Corporations like Monsanto are exploiting farmers and people.
Watch the video ‘Food Inc’ and many other videos on the net to learn what the devastating ramifications of GMO crops will have on people and the planet. Farmers of the world are being turned into debt slaves by these companies and we we the public are research guinea pigs who will pay the ultimate price in poor health,even death in order that the Monsanto’s of the world not lose one dollar of business/profit. Also watch ” Sweet Misery’ and other videos to learn that aspartame in diet soda kills.
GMO is about population control. Yes! that is right. The wealthy elite of this world are funding research on GMO staple crops around the world which will be cross pollinated with indigenous plants just by being within mere miles of them. Then non GMO, organic plants will become GMO plants which of course you wont be allowed to grow because the Monsanto’s’ of the world hold the patent on those GMO seeds and they will force you to pay one way or another. Control the seed…control the population!
@WhyCantIVote I read you comments, you seem to be the only one debating the our side of agruement here, why is everyone falling for this propaganda are they too lazy to look at the evidence…have they not realise that the plant food they are eating are millions of years in the making.
If America had not involved into the war, South Vietnam would have fallen into communism in 1954 and more Vietnamese would have been murdered in cultural revolutions like those launched by Mao in China (20 million deaths) and Khmer Rouge in Cambodia (2 millions).
Total Vietnamese democide by communists: 1,040,000 (1975-87)
Executions: 100,000
Camp Deaths: 95,000
Forced Labor: 48,000
Democides in Cambodia: 460,000
Democides in Laos: 87,000
Vietnamese Boat People: 500,000 deaths.
Lol..the future of mankind. I on the other hand am excited for mankind progressing…Having technology available to do such things? To comprehend the mind of god! amaZing is it not? but we must know our limits as humans…thats why we test on hawiians! lmao
@bambooman36 agent orange u serious?
fuck i pay a few more cents for organic, GMOs suck. ownership of organisms & kife form thats fucked up. natural is soo much better anyways, strawberries are a good example of organic vs gmo.
poor hawians…
it all goes back to one thing. the american occupation has to end so we can fix everything they destroyed and stop them from destroying anything further. their occupation of our government is making it nearly impossible to defend ourselves from them. genetic piracy, legal genocide, desecration of land and culture, desecration of the bodies and bones of our elders. it never ends, and they work so hard to keep everyone else from hearing about it.
yes, GMO’s suck, but it doesn’t mean the govenment wants to kill us….
educate the government
What the hell?
Poor Hawaii.
Stupid people.
If viewing this video on GMOs makes you angry and you’d like to do something about it, join with the rest of the world on May 31, 2010 in a national and international protest against against GMOs! This will take place on memorial day weekend on the Mall in Washington DC and on a larger global scale.
I’m from Hawaii. GMOs are not all bad. Take the evolution of transportation, primitive humans made do with horses, but now we happily use far better and cheaper (relative to income) cars – of course there’s the issue of car safety and pollution, and that must be worked on, but it’s not a reason to not use cars at all.
Cars kill over a million people worldwide a year, are you willing to give up your car? GMO’s purported negative effects, even the most extreme, pale in comparison.
over nine billion mouths to feed by 2050, we’re gonna need more living space, more chopping of the rainforest for paper and other wooden shit, more overfishing, more cars driving down air quality, more species going extinct. earth is our only home and we’re not taking care of it, we’re crowding it up. we’re not capable colonizing space anytime soon. wTF can we do? ps i hate the idea of this fucking cat. he/she SHOULD do a video on the east boston cat that got called to jury duty though, lol
@theegapman I agree, unfortunately, you can’t buy organic everywhere.
It makes me mad to hear all the stories of agribusiness. 2010 looks to be the tipping point. nonGMOproject has been introduced where labels will start appearing on nonGMO food. Consumers are getting more educated and countries from Ireland to Japan to Egypt have banned GMOs.
go to nongmoproject(dot)org
see “the world according to monsanto”
AND VOTE WITH YOUR WALLET! Buy organic, ask questions, buy nongmoproject labeled food.
johnluvsiuna; you and people like you are puppets (or you work for Monsanto) and are useless to society! There are many more people starving in the world BECAUSE of GMOs…ever heard of research, or is it beyond your basic comprehension? You obviously didn’t understand ANYTHING that was said in that video. This is the largest EXPERIMENT – EVER and no one can predict the long term ramifications of it! Nothing good will EVER come of this. Drugs and bacteria in the plants is totally insane!
frankenfood,frankenfood,frankenfood! Get it through your thick, fucking skulls! Type II diabetes, cancer, heart/stroke problems, MS and other neurological diseases, Alzheimer and similar diseases – all of these and more, continue to rise because greedy corporations with no conscience want to play GOD! Anyone who isn’t fighting against these corporations, is supporting them! No one has the right to patent LIFE! It doesn’t get any simpler than that.
