To be fair to the American publc we must have these requirements for our food supply:

1) Mandatory pre-market long-term health testing 
2) Mandatory pre-market comprehensive environmental review
3) Mandatory labeling of GE products

GE products could be toxic, cause allergic responses, have lower nutritional value, and compromise immune responses in consumers. Without mandatory labeling, neither consumers nor health professionals will know if an allergic or toxic reaction was the result of a genetically engineered food. 

The FDA must end its cozy relationship with the industries it purports to be regulating. Ninety-two percent of FDA advisory committee meetings had at least one conflict of interest.

Thank you for your attention to these points.
