Monsanto Is Trying To Ban Hormone Labeling At The State Level

consumerist.com...

For two days this week, a Kansas Senate committee heard testimony on a bill that would make it illegal to label food "as having a compositional claim that cannot be confirmed through laboratory analysis or to state a compositional or production-related claim that is supported solely by sworn statements, affidavits, or testimonials."

Translation:

Because milk can't be tested for the presence of growth hormone, dairies like Shatto's couldn't represent their products as hormone-free in Kansas, even if they had mountains of proof that their cows weren't injected with growth hormone.

A similar challenge would face the farmer who sells grass-fed beef, or raises chickens the old-fashioned way, rather than in a huge warehouse.

its so obvious as to why.. they have lots to hide, and don't want to point a dirty finger at themselves! ironically, i doubt most americans would even care - as long as they can still deep dry it and cover it in ketchup.
