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 doctor of chiropractic, I am vitally concerned about naturally maintaining the health of our people.  I am outraged that the FDA must be forced by consumers to do its mandated job of protecting the people of this nation.


Sincerely

Dr. Richard Allen
