PLEASE....  Protect us as is your mandate to do.  LABELING is absolutely 
necessary.
Also, it only seems proper that the FDA require mandatory pre-market 
comprehensive environmental review. Unlike conventional pollutants, where a 
given amount of pollutantcauses a limited amount of damage, a small number of 
mutant genes could have a population explosion and reproduce forever, causing 
unlimited and irreparable damage.

Also, the FDA should be requiring pre-market health safety testing.  Look how 
long it has taken for the dangers of aspertame to become know and this when 
the FDA KNEW in advance that it was dangerous.

I know the government can't protect us from everything, but it should keep us 
informed so we can protect ourselves.
