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.

I am concerned about the danger that genetically altered foods can cause both my family and myself.
I will continue to fight to see them banned from usage. I will vote in elections for representatives who support this cause and not for those who do not.


Sincerely

John Ost
