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 have a right to know exactly what I am buying to feed my family. If companies wish to sell genetically engineered prouduce, use ge's as ingredients in their prouducts, or sell meat that was fed genetically engineered feed let them BODLY state this on their packaging so I can easily choose not to buy their proudcts. Thank You, C. Vorpahl Sincerely Christine Vorpahl 299 Grant House Rd. Richford, New York 13835
