>>FRITOS IS CAREFULLY WATCHING THE CONSUMER RESPONSE.

>>PLEASE send them an email <consumer.affairs@fritolay.com>
>>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

>>Tell them that you don't believe that genetically engineered food
