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.

to whom it may concern, (i guess that means our entire consuming public)

to use genetically engineered foods in your products and not inform the public as to what the ingredients are is corrupt. period. that is deceptive and undermining of the health of us, the ones who are buying your products. please do not use gene altered foods in your products at all. organic is the way of the future. not to say that organic food is any healthier or provides any more nourishment, but it is better for the environment and for everyone. thank you for your help.


Sincerely
