As a consumer, I urge you to reject Monsanto's GE alfalfa. I care about the integrity of the food I eat, and don't want organic and other non-genetically engineered crops to be contaminated by genetically engineered alfalfa.
Specifically, in regards to Docket: APHIS-2007-0044, I suggest you not approve GE alfalfa for the following reasons:
The USDA's draft Environmental Impact Statement dismisses the significance of widespread contamination of organic and non-genetically engineered alfalfa crops, and further dismisses organic consumers' interest in maintaining the integrity of organic crops.
Consumers have a right to choose to eat non-genetically engineered foods, and farmers have a right to sow the crops of their choice, without threat of contamination. The approval of genetically engineered alfalfa, will inevitably lead to contamination of other crops and the food supply.
Therefore, I urge you to reject the approval of genetically engineered alfalfa.
Sincerely,
Leslie Goldman
