Dear FDA,

I am commenting on proposed rules relating to genetically engineered or
altered foods.

The foods should be labeled so that consumers have a choice. The free
market cannot function if information about products is kept from the end
users. It is the height of hypocrasy for large corporations to work
tirelessly to loosen government regulation of products, including food, and
then to prevent the buying public from obtaining the knowledge required to
make informed choices.

Thank you,
Mike McCallum
