I would like the opportunity to decide on my own if GM foods are exceptable
in my diet, and as proposed I will not be allowed to make this decision as
you have chosen not to label these foods.  I think the FDA should not be
allowed to make these kinds of decisions for everyone.  I already am angry
at the way the FDA approves drugs so quickly even knowing how damaging they
can be the public.   Why is that you are allowed to play god and take so
many lives in your hands.  Are we getting kick backs from these companies or
special interest groups?  Do you feed this garbage to your families?  I
think all these foods should be labeled, other wise I will have to not eat
them at all.
