Subject: What's in your food?


Dear Corporate and Government Leaders,

Genetically engineered food ingredients or crops should not be allowed on the market until: 

1) Independent safety testing demonstrates they have no harmful effects on human health or the environment, 

2) They are labeled to ensure the consumer's right-to-know, and 

3) The biotechnology corporations that manufacture them are held responsible for any harm.

I used to buy your products until I became sick from pesticide exposures.  I now eat totally organic foods.  I miss your products, but due to GMO's, pesticides and chemical additives to your food products, I am unable to eat them.  I wish America would wake up before we are all sick from the "poisoned" foods we are eating.  Please stop tampering with our foods and get back to "nature".  


Sincerely

Carla Atkinson
