		<description>label your GMO products....the USDA will not protect the consumers. Begin the process of labeling and you will no longer have to fight against Monsanto because the consumers will do it for you.</description>

		<description>It is becoming more and more important and more urgent that GMO&#039;s are stopped.  Monsanto is now engineering foods with insecticides so they only work with Monsanto &quot;Roundup&quot; Our food is becoming lethal.</description>

		<description>I have missed the deadline, but would still like to weigh in.  I do not want to ingest GMOs at all.  I disapprove of GMO air born matter pollenating and sterilizing neighboring fields.  This is one of the most important issues of our time period and any government organization that thinks it&#039;s ok to alter, and then copyright food at the expense of food security and integrity is not serving the people that pay their wages.  These agencies are selling-out our future.</description>

		<description>Several comments here mentioned that they only buy organic food so they are not concerned about the GMO food. The biggest threat right now is the spread of these GMO seeds and crops to the organic foods. Once this happens there will be no more organic crops.

And a lot of good all the comments did to the USDA, they went and approved this anyway. Did any of you really think that the USDA would ever listen to what any citizen has to say.</description>

		<description>If we require food labeling for calories and ingredients, why not label our food re: GMOs?  I do not want GMOs in our food supply chain nor in my body.  At least, dear government, allow me to be informed to make my own choice.

No GMOs in organics, either.  

I&#039;m sick of our government not caring about its citizen.  The FDA and EPA care more about the Monsanto&#039;s of the world than its own citizens.  Obama, wake up!!  How dare you allow our First Lady to tout fresh fruits and veggies in the White House &quot;Garden&quot; while allowing the rest of us to consume GMO food without labeling.</description>

		<description>Once these products are labeled and consumers can avoid purchasing them, hopefully we get the last laugh. I rather start growing my own food before I purchase GMO products! And I may just have too!</description>

		<description>My wife &amp; I believe the question should not be the seed GMO or not; rather the question should be whether Roundup is safe for the consumer, the land and it use, as well as the water table beneath and downstream from Roundup.  Roundup is a really nature unfriendly product and benefits big business and not the consumer.</description>

		<description>When Whole Foods labels a product as &quot;All Natural&quot;  does that mean the products do not contain GMO&#039;s?</description>
