Dear FDA,

The proposed rules involving genetically engineered foods put our health at risk. We urge you to require mandatory pre-market safety testing and pre-market environmental reviews and mandatory labeling of all GE foods. Please do not restrict voluntary labeling of non-GE foods. We have a right to know what is in our food. We have a right to know what we are feeding our children. This point seems so obvious, it is incredible to us that our givernment wants to deny us this right.

Sincerely,

Dorothy and Tom Rowe
