Kapu placed on genetic modification of Haloa


John Kimmey and Walter Ritte, the latter who has been leading the fight against GMO taro research, both have good letters in the Advertiser today. Ritte comments on the May 24 Advertiser editorial and the ceremony at UH that day "to recognize, honor and protect Haloa, our first born in Hawaiian genealogy, who became taro or kalo," and says it "was a time when we made it perfectly clear that there is a kapu placed on all genetic modifications of our genealogical brother the taro. It was not a time for non-Hawaiians to tell us to sacrifice our genetic makeup for the good of the marketplace."
