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 urge you to take notice of the ambiguity and risk that is taken with human life by using genetically altered foods.  The American people demand healthy food, we should not have to look over our shoulders every time we try to shop for groceries. Please take notice.  We will not support you, in fact we WILL fight you.


Sincerely

Merinda Hensley
