RE: Docket No. 00N-1396, and 00D-1598

Dear FDA,
 
Genetic engineering of food is an aberration. The public has a right to 
 know if their food is GE, and mandatory (not voluntary)labeling of GE 
foods must be followed. Furthermore, how do we know these foods are truly 
healthy for the consumer? Allergies and weird reactions may result in GE 
food consumption, and without the proper information supplies to the 
consumer, these companies will get away with causing harm. Not to mention 
what harm may be done to the ecosystem as a result of tinkering with 
agriculture. Do not let it happen! People come first, not the corporations 
who push "Franken-foods" for profit. Listen up, and be sensible.

Sincerely,
Richard L. Peters
