I have been made aware of recent FDA proposals which would allow companies 
and farmers to keep information concerning the genetic purity of their 
products secret from consumers. 

Every day more information about the harmful effects of genetically 
engineered food is made known. Even if the food industry claims that these 
allegations are false, it should be up to the consumer to know what is in her 
or his food, and to make their own decisions about what they put into their 
body. 

As a citizen who must eat the products of these companies, and whose children 
someday will as well, I demand that FDA change its policy, to require 
labeling and 
pre-market safety testing of all genetically engineered foods.
