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

Dear Ms. Henney,
 
The new rules are a joke that no one will benefit from. Why even talk about 
 labelling if it is completely voluntary? Big food producers don't want to 
label, because they know that CONSUMERS DON'T WANT TO EAT THE STUFF. If 
your agency is sincere about informing the public of possible health 
threats, then the new rules need to trashed and labelling made mandatory.
