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.

I wish to have a choice in which food I consume and feed to my children - genetically modified foods should be labeled so that my sons aren't used as guinea pigs while you "wait for further data".  To a parent, there IS no such thing as "acceptable risk".


Sincerely

Eden Danaher
