Wal-Mart leads the way to acceptance of GMO foods

And speaking of how a food s label does not necessarily indicate a particular risk (or benefit), ACSH would like to congratulate Wal-Mart for its recent decision to sell genetically modified (GM) sweet corn. At a time when many activist groups are fighting to label products made with genetically modified ingredients, Wal-Mart s decision speaks volumes.

To see the world s largest retailer stand up for scientific truth leaves us feeling hopeful about the fight against ideologically driven consumer groups, says ACSH s Dr. Gilbert Ross. With Wal-Mart leading the way, perhaps we will see other large retail groups support GM foods.
