I am outraged by your new policies on genetically engineered (GE) foods. Despite overwhelming consumer demand, your agency still fails to require safety testing and mandatory labeling for GE foods. Your proposed rules appear to be a decision made to convenience industry at the expense of public health and the environment. Sincerely, Susan Robinson, M.D., F.A.C.O.G.
