WALMART: Refuse to Carry Monsanto's GMO Sweet Corn
Michael T. Duke; Protect your customers, and refuse to carry Monsanto's GMO sweet corn.
Why is this important?
Monsanto has plans to sell its new genetically engineered sweet corn seed for planting this spring, and even though this new crop is intended for human consumption and will likely be sold fresh off the cob, it has never been tested for human food safety.
We would like Walmart to commit by April 1, 2012 to not sell Monsanto’s genetically engineered sweet corn variety in their stores.
Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and General Mills say they won't handle it. Walmart has made a pledge of sustainability, which does not support carrying GMO corn. 90% of all Americans want GMO foods labeled, because they don't want to eat them. We deserve the right to know what we are eating. Even China and Russia label GMO foods. Please refuse Monsanto's untested, unlabeled, and potentially unsafe sweet corn!
