FDA,
Thank you for asking for my opinion on your decision draft regarding 
labeling of GMO foods. Since nobody is in the position to tell the 
consequences on humans of eating genetically engineered foods, I think that 
everyone must have the freedom to decide for themselves whether or not they 
consider the risk worth taking. Here we are not talking about a small detail 
in the lawmaking of this country, but about a fundamental human freedom to 
choose what to eat. It will be regarded by future generations as a blatant 
concession made to the multibillion dollar food industry, at a potential 
risk seldom seen before in human history. Take your responsibility to 
protect the American people seriously, and consider other, more honest ways 
of making money than keeping the cozy relationship to the food and pharmacy 
industry. I will seriously consider emigrating to Europe if you fail in 
providing me a fair chance to know what I'm eating. Sincerely,

Ola Flodin, computer dealer, Iowa
