Walmart: No Toxic Corn on our Shelves!

To Rob Walton, Chair of the Walmart Board:

As concerned citizens from around the world, we call on you to prevent Monsanto's Bt toxin corn from entering our global food supply chain by keeping it out of your stores. A recent scientific study found traces of Bt toxins in 93% of pregnant women and their fetuses, making Monsanto’s corn a threat to human health and a far cry from the green standard and family values Walmart promises to uphold. We urge you to protect your customers from this toxic corn.

Walmart: No Toxic Corn on our Shelves!

Monsanto’s newest genetically modified corn is hitting the shelves in days -- it’s toxic and we have the chance to clean it out of our supermarkets for good.

This "Franken-corn" leaches Bt toxin into the blood of pregnant women and their unborn babies, and similar kinds of Bt corn have killed cows who eat it. Worse, the first store slated to carry this dangerous food, Walmart, is often the only place for low income to families to shop, making them the guinea pigs for Monsanto’s toxic corn experiment.

Our global movement can stop the spread of Monsanto’s toxic corn before it starts. Sign the petition calling on Walmart to clear out the corn, when we reach 500,000 Avaaz will hire teams of guerrilla labelers to travel to Walmart stores and make sure customers know the danger this corn poses to them and their children.
