Dear Senator (Your U.S. Senator),
I strongly urge you to vote for the passage of S 3001, the improved food
labeling bill as written. I am a celiac and this legislation is critical to m
e. It will be a major tool in helping me treat my illness by the only known
treatment, avoiding specific foods. I need to have all the ingredients in a
product clearly stated. Current legislation allows for vague names such as
(artificial ingredients, natural flavors, food starch, etc.) or even worse,
products misleadingly labeled because some ingredients that are toxic to
celiacs can be left off labels.  The improved labels will help me and others
easily identify gluten free products that I can safely eat.

There are many other people with dietary restrictions that will also benefit
from total identification of ingredients.  All of us need your help.  If you
don't help us now, we may not be around for your next election.

Thank you for your support on this vital issue.

Sincerely yours,
