Genetically Modified Food - "Don't Domesticate Wild Nature - Take Action!"

We must protect wild nature from the unknown effects of genetically modified organisms. Patagonia believes that these organisms should be considered harmful until proven otherwise, and should therefore remain in the laboratory to avoid contact with the wild. Please write to the Food and Drug Administration Commissioner AND the U.S. Department of Agriculture ; tell them that genetically engineered food ingredients or crops should not be allowed on the market or into the wild unless:

1. Independent safety testing demonstartes they have no hamrful 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 responsible for any harm these organisms cause.

   "Go Organic! Only certified organic food is guarnateed to be free of genetically engineered ingredients."
