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.

As a mother of 2, I am deeply concerned about the safety of my food. I have a right to protect my children. Knowledge is power, the truth cannot hurt anyone. As a consumer, I need to know what I'm buying or I will not buy those products.


Sincerely

Michele Martin
