Subject: What's in your food? (FDA Dockets 00N-1396 and 00D-1598)


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.

please forget any political agenda in this subject, and consider your responsibility to render the most sincere service to the people of the U.S., and their most precious asset, HEALTH. 

PS: THis includes your children's and grandchildren's health. Thank you.


Sincerely

tom lauda
