From: gbednorz@AOL.com Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2001 3:25 PM To: fdadockets@oc.fda.gov 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. This arrogance with the ecosystems and our bodies is flagrant. All the more distrubing is not giving the public a choice by concelment and/or distorting the truth.
