RE: Docket No. 00N-1396, and 00D-1598

Dear FDA,
	The idea of genetically engineered foods is controversial at best. The 
 fact that there is No Law which Requires these ethically controversial, 
and potentially harmful foods is UNBELIEVABLE and an INSULT to consumers 
everywhere. 
I am outraged by your new policies on genetically engineered (GE)foods.
	Your proposed rules ignore serious concerns, and appear to be a decision 
made to convenience industry at the expense of public health and the 
environment. I will not accept your attempt to make me a guinea pig of 
these untested foods.  Please take my views as well as the views of 
millions of consumers into consideration.


Sincerely,

Gerard Damiano
