As a person who has the ability to control what we can and cannot eat,
it is rightfully your duty to inform the public about the food in which
they are eating.  Most people are unfamiliar as to what a GMO is, this
is ridiculous.  GMO's make up sixty percent of the majority of society's
diet and you will not even tell them this.  As a consumer I demand the
right to know what it is companies are putting into my food.  We are the
ones in he dark, you guys know everything going on yet you are hiding it
form the people who rely on you to make wise decisions regarding their
food as well as health.  So i ask one more time that you see that GE
foods are labeled and inform the public to what you are selling them and
allowing them to eat without them knowing.
