Regarding
00N-1396 and 00D-1598.

To whom it may concern,
I am a citizen of the United States, born here, lived here 48 years, and I
feel that I have a RIGHT to know what is in my food!
The press on GMO foods is frightening, and whether it is safe or not, is
beside the point. It is not right that a handful of men can reshape the food
I eat and not even have to tell me. It is one thing to do this with clothing
or cars, but food is necessary for our life and existence.
Maybe it is safe and maybe it isn't. Cyclamates were safe.
PLEASE give us food labels that tell us what is in our food, please!!!

Thank-you,
Most Sincerely,
Barb S. Pakula, OR.
