We urge the FDA to require mandatory labeling of genetically engineered
foods - we demand to know and choose what we are eating.

We believe the FDA should conduct health and  ecological safety testing  of
GE foods.  The damage that mutant genes could cause can be unlimited and
irreparable.

We believe the FDA should conduct pre-market long-term health testing.
These products could be toxic, cause allergic responses, compromise immune
responses - it's an unknown.
