Dear Corporate and Government Leaders,

Genetically engineered food ingredients or crops should not be allowed on the market until: 

1) Independent safety testing demonstrates they have no harmful effects on human health or the environment, 

2) They are labeled to ensure the consumer's right-to-know, and 

3) The biotechnology corporations that manufacture them are held responsible for any harm.

Than you for helping me to take care of my own health.  It is the American Way to allow individuals the freedom to make our own choices, and accept the consequences of these choices. All I want is the right to know.


Sincerely

Susan Phelan
