Subject: Genetically Engineered Foods
To whom it may concern, 

This is in response to your request for public comment. 

I would not knowingly choose to eat Genetically engineered foods. I know you 
have received a large number of petitions and comments regarding this matter. 
By ignoring the outcry you fail to put my health and the health of my family 
and friends in the forefront. In failing to require health and ecological 
safety testing you may cause irreparable and devastating damage to our health 
and to the environment. The FDA's mission is protect the well being of the 
masses and I hope you will not fail in this matter. I implore you to consider 
the consequences and the unknowns seriously. 

I have the right to know and choose what I eat.  Please do not take that 
right away from me.
