Re: [AlpacaTalk] Monsanto Brings Small Family Dairy to Court
Here's a link to "Millions Against Monsanto"
When food manufacturers are so often required by law to state on their labels exactly what is in the product, I don't understand why Monsanto even had a case. I have to feel this was pure intimidation. The dairy industry should have supported Oakhurst. This is terrible!

Monsanto Brings Small Family Dairy to Court
Oakhurst Dairy has been owned and operated by the same Maine family since 1921, and Monsanto recently attempted to put them out of business. Oakhurst, like many other dairy producers in the U.S., has been responding to consumer demand to provide milk free of rBGH, a synthetic hormone banned (for health reasons) in every industrialized country other than the U.S. Error! Filename not specified.
Monsanto, the number one producer of the rBGH synthetic steroid, sued Oakhurst, claiming they should not have the right to inform their customers that their dairy products do not contain the Monsanto chemical. Given the intense pressure from the transnational corporation, Oakhurst was forced to settle out of court, leaving many other dairies vulnerable to similar attacks from Monsanto.
