-Caveat Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"> </A> -Cui Bono?- Dear Frito-Lay, Thanks for not putting possibly unsafe and possibly ecologically catastrophic genetically engineered corn in your products. As you are no doubt aware consumers in Europe have resoundingly chosen NOT to purchase GE "FrankenFoods," and Monsanto's usually well-greased political machinery was not powerful enough to force the EU to accept untested and possibly dangerous U.S. products of a GE / FrankenFood "nature." Deutsche Bank (largest investment bankers in E.U.) warned all investors to divest themselves of holdings in GE/FrankenFood firms (such as Monsanto) Monsanto has now "spun-off" their FrankenFood division (having recently been thoroughly thrashed for having the unbelievable gall to attempt to market the "Terminator Seed." Monsanto's stock took a HUGE nose-dive as a result of their relentless efforts to RAM FrankenFoods down the throats of Europeans - now Monsanto has even changed it's name to attempt to avoid the inevitable backlash which is now beginning in the U.S. Monsanto and the others companies involved in this stupidly dangerous FrankenFood experiment are most well known as producers of POISONS. Your company will do very well to listen to the informed populace in Europe; you are clearly in touch with the fact that even though great efforts have been made to keep the U.S. public "in the dark" on this issue, there is no avoiding the truth - people in the U.S. are now beginning to be informed, and once so informed... no one in their right mind could possibly support FrankenFood. Thanks for taking the responsible and sane position - I'm sure you will be rewarded financially as well as in good faith. I usually purchase only ORGANIC (and unsalted) chips, but maybe I'll buy some of yours to donate to the food bank.... You might want to think of going ORGANIC...

PLEASE SPREAD THIS FAR AND WIDE: FRITOS-LAY has announced it would no longer use genetically engineered corn in its produces. THIS IS THE START OF SOMETHING BIG. The biotech giants have started a campaign to pressure Fritos to reverse their decision. If Fritos holds to their commitment, this may very well be the start of the downfall of genetically engineered foods in America. FRITOS IS CAREFULLY WATCHING THE CONSUMER RESPONSE. PLEASE send them an email <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or call them 1-800-352-4477 (ask for operator 100) Tell them you applaud their decision. Tell them that you do NOT want to eat foods that have been genetically engineered to act as an insecticide. Tell them that you don't believe that genetically engineered food is safe for consumer or environmental health and you commend the direction they are taking. And that it would be a big disappointment if they cave in and reverse their decision. Tell them that now they should go certified organic!! CONTACTING FRITO-LAY: or write them at Frito-Lay, P.O.
