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.

To Whom it May Concern,
I am in firm belif that all of the above criteria must be met before any genetically altered food should be allowed to be sold.  As a consumer I have the right to make informed decisions especially if they are potentially dangerous to my health.  I am offended by your lack of social conscience and ill will to the people who purchase your products and make it possible for you to continue doing business.  Although I cannot stop you from continuing this unsafe and unethical practice, I can and will, discontinue using and purchasing your products until you become more ethical in how you treat your customers and society in general.


Sincerely

Dawn Young
