In unusual move, biotech giant Monsanto asks for more government regulation

It’s just not a level playing field anymore says St. Louis based biotech conglomerate Monsanto. Through deceptive practices and misleading advertising dairies and milk processors are convincing the American public that there’s something wrong with rBST produced milk and they shouldn’t be drinking it. Dairy after dairy is slapping ”rBST-free” and ”no artificial growth hormones” on their milk--and it’s working! The public is asking for rBST-free milk--an ”artificial demand” says Monsanto, no pun intended--and milk processors are starting to penalize dairies still using rBST. [...] But it’s no fair, says Monsanto in letters to the FDA and FTC asking the agencies to regulate their competitors.
