Not for animals, not for humans. I will not buy food now from any major grocery stores. There are more like me. Our dollars will cast votes. Why not do the caring and sensible thing NOW and institute sensible rulings which have the long range best interest of the PUBLIC HEALTH in mind rather that the short term PRIVATE WEALTH of the companies selling and developing genetically modified seeds and foods. Don't be thieves. Make a positive difference. Strict truthful standards in labeling for EVERYONE! This is LIFE you're talking about. Don't be fools. Thank you for your consideration. F. Jean Van Meter
