SOMETHING TO BRAGG ABOUT
(Editor's note: the following letter is in response to Nov. 22, 2007 edition of Rob Report titled "Ag Lands and the 'M' Word.")
I was one of the people who walked the land with Patricia Bragg when she was looking at buying this pristine land that is now up for subdivision. At the time, my ears heard, "I will farm this land and make it beautiful and productive for all. We will grow food, like I do on my 40 acres in Byron Bay, and give back to Mother Earth in this way, because I can!"
Well, do the latest actions of Ms. Bragg align with these words? No! I, for one, am tired of hearing one thing from someone, then seeing another thing happen that rapes our Earth, all in the name of the almighty dollar! It's time for us in the state of Hawai'i to wake up to the usage of our resources and how we plan for future generations.
Do we really want to rely on containers of food from the mainland, when we could grow our own? We can be a model of sustainablility for the rest of the nation. Join a group who cares and is doing something like Maui Tomorrow or Maui Coastal Land Trust.
I have been using Bragg products as a health coach and nutritionist for years. I will no longer buy them until I hear that the subdivision plans have been rescinded and I see something moving forward more in alignment with what Ms. Bragg initially said and the land is being treated well.
You may print this. I'm also going to be sending it along to Ms. Bragg herself, who I understand, wasn't Paul Bragg's daughter after all. Seems she is a big sham and no better than most of the folks running for office right now. What we see is not what we're getting! Why is that?
