Monsanto, Corporation with long history of Sleaze, demands to deny consumers right to know what's in their food

Agribusiness giant Monsanto Co. is challenging a growing trend among dairies to label their milk "hormone free," saying those claims mislead consumers into believing that the cow growth hormone Monsanto makes is unsafe.

In an action that could send ripples through the food industry, St. Louis-based Monsanto is moving aggressively against a group of dairies to halt the use of "hormone free." It said that such labels suggest that there is something unhealthy about its synthetic hormone drug.

In letters filed recently with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission, Monsanto protests that milk labels touting the fact that cows did not receive the hormone—known as rGBH, rBST or Posilac—have unfairly damaged its business, as well as that of dairy farmers who use the drug on their cows.

Evidence that an FDA OK is completely meaningless to the healt and safetly of the people is too vast to list here.
But the safety of the substance misses the point anyway.

Regardless of other considerations, consumers have a right to know every bit of information about all products in the market place. Monsanto's actions to suppress such information is unreasonable.
Even if their hormone is safe, which I highly doubt, consumers still have a right to know what is contained in products they purchase.

Here you go corporatist scum. If use of a chemical lowers the sale of your product, remove the chemical.
We didn't get a cancer epidemic from nowhere.
