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.

Please take the necessary steps to ensure the complete safety and healthfulness of your food products.  We care very much about what we put into our bodies.  With so many pseudo-food ingredients being used these days, reponsible manufacturers must reassure us consumers through your labeling that you are using only pure, organic, and healthful ingredients.


Sincerely

Neil Ray
