Food and Drug Administration ,

To:  Food and Drug Administration,

I am extremely concerned that the Food and Drug Administration 
FDA) has proposed regulations that fail to require labels or safety tests on genetically
engineered (GE) food. Labels on GE foods are required in Japan, Russia, and 
throughout Europe, yet your new proposal continues to deny Americans 
the right to know clearly which foods contain genetically engineered 
fruits and vegetables and which do not.  
Mandatory, standardized labels is the best way to let consumers know 
what they are buying.  

I urge you to reconsider this proposal and insure that GE
foods are subject to standards of labeling accuracy 
that require the accurate disclosure of GE content in any consumable product.  

Americans deserve to know whether their food originated in God's creation 
or in a labratory.
