We are in a potentially catastrophic situation. The introduction of
untested, genetically modified organisms into the food supply is a risk
that frankly, millions of Americans are not willing to take.  I run a day
care, and many parents are becoming concerned about the effects of GMO foods
on young children's growing bodies.  I do my best to avoid GMO's but without
comprehensive labelling, it is probably impossible.

These "foods" must be labelled. They must be tested. We need
comprehensive data that will tell us:

1) What particular modifications are in which crops.

2) A means of identifying trouble, warning people of dangers, and
returning to the source of the genetically dangerous "foods."

We have a right to know, and to buy or to not buy food based upon that
knowledge.

Sincerely,
Catia Juliana
