I would like to know what is in my food.  Giving manufactures the option to
list genetically modified foods is not good enough.  There should be
manditory testing before genetically altered foods are added to our food
supply.  A moritorium on genetically engineered food should be instituted
until long term testing proves it is safe for humans and the environment we
all depend on for life.
