RE: Docket No. 00N-1396, and 00D-1598

Dear FDA,
 
It's so amazing how certain products get the A-Ok and others are given the cold shoulder by your offices, ie. vitamins, herbs and supplements (which you seem to only be able to offer reasons of wariness due to the lack of US research (Germany and Japan have been doing studies on these for years. And yet, reasearch of these frankenfoods, not need be done, becaue they're "natural"? It seems as if every single branch of government is got major moneychangers pulling their puppet strings. Hey forget human safety we gotta make sure so and so isn't harmed and the trough dries up. This voluntary labeling of GM foods is frightening, not to mention pharmaceutical comapanies "evergreening" of medicine. How do you people sleep at night knowing people right now are slaves to the very companies you find so noble and are causing great harm to your fellow citizens?
