Subject: Docket 00N-1396 & Docket 00D-1598

I would like it to be known that I am requesting that the FDA do labeling and further testing on genetically engineered foods.  We, the people, should be allowed to choose what is in our food and the only way that can be done would be through labeling.  This would give us, at the very least, an option to eat it or not.  The jury is still out on it's safety and it should not be forced upon us.  The safety of my food is of the utmost importance to me since I have chosen to use food as part of my cancer therapy.  It is my right to know what I am eating and to choose the kind of food I eat.

Thank you for hearing my request and taking it into consideration.
