RE: Docket No. 00N-1396, and 00D-1598

Dear FDA,
 
It is unconscionable that the FDA allows corporations to experiment on the 
 American public with untested, potentially dangerous genetically-modified 
foods and other products.  These FRANKENFOODS are so new that claims of 
long-term testing are ludicrous.
My faith in the trustworthiness of the FDA is shattered.  I purchase only 
certified organic foods and encourage my students to do the same.  
Government agencies used to at least maintain a facade of  serving the 
public rather than buckling under to agribusiness and other corporate 
interests.  What happened?

Most sincerely,
Jeanette Rodda
