Subject: What's in your food?


Dear Corporate and Government Leaders,

Genetically engineered food ingredients or crops should not be allowed on the market until: 

1) Independent safety testing demonstrates they have no harmful effects on human health or the environment, 

2) They are labeled to ensure the consumer's right-to-know, and 

3) The biotechnology corporations that manufacture them are held responsible for any harm.

As a strong supporter of sustainable, organic agriculture, I feel my spending(voting) capital is being wasted by large manufacturers(government bodies) with zero concern for consumers(constituents). Watch out; or you will alienate
the very people your advertising dollar is trying to reach.


Sincerely
