Dear Jane Henney:

I am increasingly concerned about genetically engineered foods.  Let me add 
my name to the list of those who think it should be banned.  What are we 
doing?  It seems that it is a subtle form of biological warfare, except that 
it is an attack from within our own nation instead of from without.

The new policy of "No Labeling, No Safety Testing" proposed rules is 
unacceptable.  I am disappointed that the FDA continues to ignore the safety 
concerns of consumers and chooses instead to help the companies developing 
biotech products. 

PLEASE CHANGE THE POLICY ON GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOOD TO ONE THAT PROTECTS 
THE RIGHTS OF THE CONSUMER.

We should know what is in our food and how it is made.

DOCKETS:  00N-1396 and 00D-1598

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Alice King
