Public Comment

The USDA is taking public comment about a new genetically engineered corn they would like to approve. Here's the link: www.aphis.usda.gov/newsroom/content/2007/01/gecrndreg.shtml

Remember in this case to state more than just "I don't want you to"
Don't forget to remind them that other genetically engineered products now have 1. gone wild (those resistant to roundup) 2. killed native bugs/bees important for pollination and most importantly 3. They are PROVEN detrimental for long term human consumption. See one site Here
