First there was Bennifer. Then came TomKat. But now, since corporations are people too, they deserve their own supercouple. Enter Walsanto – the biggest, baddest supercouple the world has ever seen.

Who is Walsanto? Walmart and Monsanto, or course! We have created this fictional social media romance as part of our wider campaign to pressure Walmart to refuse to sell Monsanto’s GE sweet corn. Sign the petition to help make sure genetically engineered sweet corn doesn’t reach your plate here.

Their budding romance is followed by Walsanto Watch – a gossip page on Facebook that reports the play-by-play of the sordid affair. Walsanto Watch publishes photos and other evidence like tweets between the two, their dating profiles, and more dirt.

 

Sign the Petition

Monsanto’s new genetically engineered sweet corn could be planted this spring, but it hasn’t been proven safe and won’t be labeled. Walmart can refuse to accept it, protecting consumers from this untested and unlabeled product.

We’ll be delivering these petitions signatures to Walmart, demanding they reject genetically engineered sweet corn by April 1st, before it’s widely planted in the U.S.

Please add your name to the petition to help make sure genetically engineered sweet corn doesn’t reach your plate.

 

Petition to Walmart:

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.

Sign here.

Why Should You Ask Walmart to Reject Monsanto’s

Genetically Engineered (GE) Sweet Corn?

 

  • 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.
  • Genetically engineered sweet corn will not be labeled, so you won’t know what you’re buying.
  • Monsanto’s GE 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.
