Food and Drug Administration ,

I am extremely concerned that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed regulations that still fail to require labels or safety tests on genetically
engineered (GE) food. Labels on GE foods are required in Japan, Russia, and  throughout Europe, yet your new proposal continues to deny Americans the right to know what is in our food.
 
I urge you to reconsider this proposal and insure that GE foods are subject to pre-market testing and labeling. Americans deserve the same protections as the rest of the world. 

Remember also that you, your children and your grandchilden will be left with the legacy brought about by any leniency you might afford our food manufacturers in regards to this matter.
