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.

4) Stop trying to cover up the fact that genetically engineered food, that is ear-marked as animal feed, isn't still being injested into our bodies through the muscle of the animals we eat.
5) Long-term testing should be manditory to learn the effects of ingesting these adulterated foods over several decades.



Sincerely

Linda Francis
