To All Interested Parties:

I am very disturbed and concerned about recent proposals for the
regulation of genetically modified food products. I can not believe that
in this day and age when we are acutely aware of the lack of nutritive
value found in foods that are processed that the FDA would consider
letting such a lax and useless proposal become law. Why can't the
government, agriculture, and the medical community see that less is more
when it comes to altering the natural state of things that we ingest?

Please, do not allow genetically modified foods on the shelves of our
grocery stores and market places. And if this horrible use of science is
to be allowed, for all of us who care about what we and our children
consume, PLEASE REQUIRE STRICT LABELING OF SUCH.

Sincerely,
Sallie W. Rediske
