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.

As a consumer of your products and a parent, I urge you to take action to protect the food supply by labeling genetically modified contents. Give us a choice and you'll see how much we care!


Sincerely

Karey Shawe
