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

Food and Drug Administration - 
 
Genetically engineered foods are unproven, potentially unsafe for human or 
 animal consumption and could result
in disasterous environmental and economic consequences if left 
uncontrolled. The U.S. is far behind other 'Western' Nations in concerted 
opposition to unleashing this beast.

There is no need for this line of development.


YOU (administrators) are being swindled by big business.
Doesn't the fall of NASDAQ tell you something?
How does it feel, sucker?


WE (you and I) can supply sufficient food the 'old fashioned' way - by 
conventional seed and tractors.



In your position, it is in your power to halt the spread of genetically 
engineered food-stuffs, now. Please be conscientious and put an end to 
this fallacy now for your children and posterity.
