On a way-too-hot Sunday afternoon, a DC contingent in solidarity with OccupyMonsanto paid a surprise visit to the Trader Joe's on 25th Street NW in Foggy Bottom, "shopping for truth" as they entered the store in a hazmat-suit-wearing conga line. Meanwhile, outside, a spirited dubstep picket educated and entertained paasersby and Trader Joe's customers on mass-produced foods made with ingredients based on genetically-modified organisms (GMOs), and the influence of corporations like Monsanto on US policy and legislation on the labeling of GMO-based food items.
