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

Dear FDA,
 
My husband and I are incensed by your proposed new policies on genetically 
 engineered (GE) foods. We do NOT want to be guinea pigs for GE foods when 
there is considerable evidence of both health and environmental risks 
associated with the dissemination of GE foods.

We want extensive safety testing to be required before GE foods can be 
distributed for either animal or human consumption, and we want prominent 
labeling to be mandatory for all GE foods.

Thank you for your serious consideration of our opinions and strong wishes.


Sincerely,
Lee Poynor, Ph.D.
