Warren Necoechea [neco-home@home.com] Sent: Sunday, March 25, 2001 11:12 AM To: fdadockets@oc.fda.gov Please consider that Genetic engineering may be here to stay, but that there is a segment of the population who would like to make informed purchases. Some of us would like to be able to go to the supermarket to choose the vegetables for our family meal and know how these food have been processed. Please strongly consider this important segment of the population who are doing our best to raise our children in the healthiest and most natural way possible, and legislate that the information on how food is processed and grown is clearly labeled so that all consumers can make informed choices. Thank you, Maryann Necoechea
