World War III in Hawaii Update: Maui GMO Ban Wins a Skirmish

healthimpactnews.com / by Brian Shilhavy / December 21, 2014

As we have previously reported here at Health Impact News, World War III is now engaged in battles at the same location that brought the United States into Word War II: the islands of Hawaii.

Here is what I have previously written about why I do not think I am exaggerating in calling Hawaii the current battle ground for World War III:

There is probably no place on the planet that is home to such diametrically opposite philosophies of farming and agriculture than Hawaii. Hawaii is a huge testing ground for the development of GMO seeds, and it is also home to some of the most innovative sustainable agricultural projects found anywhere in the world.

For a long time now, most of the food people eat in Hawaii has been imported from the mainland, as large corporations practice mono-cropping in large-scale production of fruits, nuts, coffee, etc. in Hawaii, to the exclusion of other crops and livestock. At one time, Dole Foods owned one whole island.
