How long before we know whether the agency has acted on the proposed rule?

Thanks.

There is an overwhelming amount of evidence that GE foods are not safe. They have high toxic residues, create or alter proteins in the food which can cause severe allergies, lead to antibiotic resistance, and have been linked to 65 serious health risks. They have not lowered the use of herbacides, rather have increased the need for it ,as weeds become resistant. Super weeds are being formed, and animals are dying from eating GM soy, and people are dying near sprayed farms. GE crops are destroying the environment and human health.

Monsanto has way too much power, and it’s time for us to take that power back.

We demand a better food supply than this. Health care reform starts with food that doesn’t cause disease.

Ask yourself, have you poisoned yourself and your children this week? Yes, you have- if you ate or fed them nearly any food that contains soya, corn. And I bet you did.

Governments all over the world are spending billions of dollars on climate change. If they just stopped the big chemical companies from making billions, they could save all the taxpayers money. All the chemical runoffs eventually end up in the oceans, destroying all the corals etc, and damaging our echo system along the way. The chemicals end up in our foods, causing all the obesity cancers etc that we now see in our world of today, but didn’t see 50 or 60 years ago.
Stop genetically modified foods before they stop you.

[...] regulation of genetically modified crops, dangerously weakening its oversight. Fortunately, the public comment period for the proposal has been extended to June 29th (this Monday!), so you still have a chance to demand [...]

We are the consumers. We have a right to choose whether or not we want to eat genetically modified foods. In order for us to make a well informed decision about our food we need it to be labeled. Corporations should not be allowed to force products on the public that we do not want.

Thank You

Wake up and stop the GM foods flooding into our market, it will effect even you. You want health care than you must stop illness where it starts with GM FOODS, say NO< NO

We, farmers and consumers and our children and their children in the US now have no choice as to what foods we eat, because of silence and hiding of information concerning genetically modified foods, because neither FDA nor DoA have not demanded real testing and research that would regulate these commercial corporations which seek to control life without responsibility. Human health, animal health, insect life, and food of traditional and organic produce (and whatever they want to engineer next) are threatened. This is pollution in the seed and in the soil, the heart of all nature. The energies of nature are already compromised with pollutants laid on exteriorly. At best this is shortsighted and blind. At worst, it is the ultimate in human greed. No, No, No!
