Sign petition to keep it out of stores., or at least label what it is.
This is the first time Monsanto has engineered a vegetable that could be served straight to your dinner table. It's health impacts on humans are largely unknown — but if this unlabeled, and potentially dangerous products succeeds, Monsanto is sure to bring us even more.
A study released by the International Journal of Biological Sciences found that Monsanto's GMO corn led to organ failure in mammals. This GMO corn has also recently been linked to a new pathogen causing crop failure and a sharp spike in livestock infertility - as high as 20%. But despite the warnings of one of the nation's leading plant pathologists that more study was needed to determine potential health impacts on humans, the USDA rapidly approved this corn for us to eat.
Even worse, lobbyists for Monsanto and others in the chemical and agribusiness industry have successfully fought tooth and nail to keep GMO products totally unlabeled. So shockingly, consumers are being denied the right to know if they're purchasing Monsanto's new genetically modified sweet corn."
