To Whom It May Concern: 

The regulations for genetically modified foods, as they are proposed, are 
totally inadequate.  I do not know if genetically modified foods are safe or 
unsafe.  However, I do have the right to make the decision about whether or 
not I want to take a chance on eating them.  It is my body and my life that 
is at risk here.  I want to know what is, and is not, in my food so that I 
may make my own decisions about what I put into my body. 

PLEASE require all food manufacturers to clearly label all foods that are 
genetically engineered.  The public clearly wants this.  To do otherwise is 
to fly in the face of the American Public and potentially subject us all to 
harm against our wills. 

Thank you for your consideration of my request
