WalMart Will Now Sell Monsanto Bt GMO Corn!… No Label Required Stating it is GMO!… DON’T Buy Corn at WalMart!!!

 

WalMart-GMO-corn

Most of the genetically-modified (GM) corn products forced on American
consumers today are hidden in processed foods in the form of high-fructose corn syrup
(HFCS), corn oil, corn starch, and various other corn-based additives. ~ E. A. Huff

Soon to be available at a Walmart near you is Monsanto’s Bt sweet
corn, the agri-giant’s first ever GM corn product made available to
consumers as whole ears right on the cob in the produce section– and
like with all other GMOs, neither Walmart nor Monsanto has any intention
of labeling this new “Frankencorn.”

Monsanto first unveiled this new variety of GM sweet corn back in
August, which rivals Syngenta’s GM sweet corn that has already been on
the market in limited form for the past ten years, claiming that it
would be available to farmers for planting during Fall 2011.

Now, the
corn appears set to make its debut in Walmart stores across the country
as early as Summer 2012, unless massive public outcry is able to
convince the multinational retailer to scrap the corn, or at least
voluntarily label it.

This disturbing development comes courtesy of both Food Water Watch and Sum Of Us,
which recently drew attention to the issue by creating petitions
against Walmart’s potential sale of the corn.

Though Monsanto’s GM sweet
corn contains three genetically-engineered (GE) traits that have never
been used in food eaten directly by people, and that have never been
properly tested, Walmart still intends to quietly stock its produce
shelves with this phony corn in the very near future.

Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s have rejected Monsanto’s Bt corn, how about Wal-Mart?…

In a recent campaign alert (http://sumofus.org/campaigns/walmart-monsanto/), Sum Of Us
explains that immense consumer pressure has already resulted in
commitments from Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe’s, and General Mills not
to use the new GM corn in any of their products.

As of the
announcement, Walmart has made no such commitment, presumably because of
the company’s close-knit relationship with Monsanto, a “match made in
hell” that Food Water Watch has humorously dubbed “Walsanto” (https://www.facebook.com/WalsantoWatch?sk=info).

But there is still time to stop Walmart’s stocking of Monsanto’s
latest GM poison which, if successful, has the potential to completely
destroy the viability of the entire crop. If Walmart rejects the GM
corn, many others will likely follow, which will result in farmers
refusing to plant it.

It is a simple supply and demand situation, but one that is
complicated by the fact that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
refuses to mandate that any GMOs be labeled, which means millions of
people consume them all the time without knowing it.

This is why YOUR
help is needed to spread the truth about both GM sweet corn and GMOs in
general to your friends, family members, neighbors, and coworkers.

You can also sign this petition by April 1, 2012, asking Walmart not to stock Monsanto’s GM sweet corn… http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org
