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.

LET'S NOT CREATE A MONSTER WHEN WE KNOW IT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN, AND END UP WITH A HUGE OOPS! PEOPLE'S LIVES COULD BE AT STAKE. 


Sincerely

NORMAN BEN-MAOR
