Dear Folks,

     Please, please mandate that all genetically engineered ingredients in
foods be labeled clearly so that I and the rest
of our family, friends, and the public at large can be fully informed as to
what we are purchasing!  It's time that we
join the trend, as illustrated in Europe, India & throughout Asia, and
worldwide, that the people of this country will
also be allowed to make informed choices;  after all, our government is one
by the people, of the people, and for the
people, and so it's time to act on our behalf, not on behalf of the
companies who stand to lose some profits by making
this important decision.

														Sincerely,

        													Steven Frenkel
