The Inside Scoop on the Budding Romance Between Walmart and Monsanto

 First there was Bennifer. Then came Brangelina and TomKat. Now the latest “it” couple is Walsanto. And we’ve got the inside scoop you want on their budding romance.

Sure, this isn’t something you expect to hear from us here at Food & Water Watch, but even we like to do a little celebrity stalking every once in a while — especially if said celebrities are none other than Walmart and Monsanto, the stars of our current campaign. Check out their unfolding love story on our favorite new gossip site, Walsanto Watch!

It turns out that Monsanto is seeking a retail “mate” to sell his latest science experiment, GE sweet corn, and make his fortune doing it. After being turned down by Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods and General Mills, he is setting his sights on the industrial food darling Walmart.

Will she be convinced that his affection (and pocketbook) is enough, or will he once again be left alone with nothing but his GE sweet corn to keep him company? “Like” the Walsanto Watch Facebook page to keep up with the latest developments in this sordid love story.

Over the next two months, we’ll keep working hard to prevent Monsanto’s GE sweet corn from reaching Walmart’s shelves. But, while we’re organizing call-in days and collecting petitions in the field, we’ll also be using social media to raise awareness about the campaign.

Thanks for joining in the fun!
