        I, to the extreme extent want mandatory labeling and long term 
        testing of GMO foods. It is are right and the FDA's duty to the 
        consumer to know what they're putting in there body. Whether or not 
        it's good or bad, there should be a label. If the FDA makes it 
        mandatory to show the ingridients and nutritional label for consumers 
        so they can decide whether or not to consume it, then there should be 
        no question regarding this. THE LABELING OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED 
        FOODS IS A MUST!!!!! If you disliked garlic, or were allergic to 
        peanuts, you would want to be able to check to see if those things 
        were in it, wouldn't you? Inlucding them in labeling doesn't mean 
        that any of those foods dangerous.They could easily be labeled:
        
        Ingredients: Water, salt, GMO(genetically modified)corn,basil,GMO soy 
        beans, guar gum.
        (that's no different than a organic foods label)
        
        ingredients: Certified organic corn, salt, water.
        
        Or This product was made with certified organic ingredients
        
        or This product was made with Gentically Modified Foods
        
        or This product conatins Genetically Modified Foods.
        
        It's as simple as that. None of those sound like warnings.
        
        Thank you,
        
        Strong supporter of mandatory labeling, and long term testing of 
        Genetically modified foods.
