Dear Commissioner:

As a mother and consumer, I am concerned about the quality of the food my
family eats--and how it impacts overall human and environmental  health.  I
have read a great deal, pro and con, about genetically engineered foods and
think there is a basis for concern.  Therefore, I intently request that you
seriously rethink your position on genetically engineered "foods", and
require both pre-market safety testing and labeling of these new "foods".  I
feel I am being denied the basic human right of choosing what I put into my
body and that of my 2 year old daughter, and so look to you as the official
regulator of our food supply to do your job in a safe and conscious  manner
on behalf of the families in our fine country.

Thank you for your serious consideration of these issues

Sincerely

Jeannie Zandi
