As a consumer, I refuse to purchase Monsanto's new genetically engineered sweet corn and urge you to protect your customers by committing to not sell Monsanto's GE sweet corn by April 1, 2012
Why is this important?
1. Monsanto's genetically engineered sweet corn hasn't been tested for human safety, and it contains three different genetically engineered traits that have never been used in food eaten directly by people. It has been genetically engineered to produce pesticide and resist herbicide.
2. Whether you shop at Walmart or not, they are the largest U.S. food retailer, and if they won't sell genetically engineered sweet corn, it's likely that farmers won't plant it.
3. Genetically engineered sweet corn will not be labeled, so you won't know what you're buying.
