(FDA Dockets 00N-1396 and 00D-1598) Dear Corporate and Government Leaders, Neither government nor industry is protecting Americans from the risks posed to human health and the environment by genetically engineered (GE) foods. The Food and Drug Administration's "new" policy on GE foods (proposed January 18, 2001) continues to let the biotech industry regulate itself; it fails to require the long-term, pre-market safety testing demanded by independent experts. The "voluntary labeling" guidelines are a wholly inadequate response to the overwhelming public support for mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods. Therefore, I urge you to keep all genetically engineered ingredients and crops off the market unless: 1) Independent safety testing demonstrates they have no harmful effects on human health or the environment, 2) They are labeled to ensure the consumer's right-to-know, and 3) The biotechnology corporations that manufacture them are held accountable for any harms they may cause. YES,SIR/MADAM. WE NEED TO GET THE SHOW ON THE ROAD BECAUSE,WHAT IS HAPPENING ALL OVER EUROPE WITH THE MAD COW DISEASE/FOOT,MOUTH,ETC WILL BE NOTHING COMPARE TO WHAT IS ABOUT TO HIT THIS COUNTRY IF WE LET THE BIO/TECH FIRM GET AWAY WITH DESTROYING NATURE AND BRING BACK DR.FRANK STEIN WITH IS FANKENSTEIN MONSTER,WE HAVE GOT TO MOVE FAST AND PRECISE. THANKS FOR LISTENING. PEACE/BLESSING.AMENRA Sincerely AMENRA TAHOTEP 163-45-130 TH AVE JAMAICA, New York 11434
