More Milk Labeling

Shirah at unbossed has been covering the issue in Pennsylvania. It seems the PA Secretary of Agriculture is more interested in Monsanto's bottom line than the consumers in PA. You should read the whole thing. But I want to highlight the conclusion.

Our story is that Dennis Wolff can be pro-Monsanto, pro-rBST if he wants to, and so can all of his allies. But that's NOT what they are doing.

What they are dong is subverting democracy by lying and hiding the truth. In the case of a public official, this is a gross abuse of the public trust.

So the question is: If they truly believe in what they are doing, then why are they afraid of telling the public forthrightly what they believe?

This is true with so much of our political discourse.
