I am a citizen who feels strongly that the new policy regarding genetically 
modified foods is wholly unacceptable.  I am extremely concerned that the FDA 
continues to ignore the legitimate safety concerns of the public it is 
supposed to be protecting, and that it is suggesting policies which protect 
GM food companies at the expense of consumers whose rights and health it is 
the agency's central mission to safeguard.
