Biotech food villain Monsanto is trying to change their public image by deciding to do away with the part of their company that produces an artificial growth hormone for dairy cows.

On the surface this is good news, as it signals that consumers are purchasing dairy from non-hormone treated cattle and this retailers are not carrying products without the unnatural hormones. The bad news? With the dairy business out of the way, Monsanto plans to focus more on “its thriving business of selling seeds and developing ways to improve crops.”

If you give a watch to the trailer below (or read here) I’m sure you’ll see that that is in no way good news:

Also, it should be noted that Monsanto isn’t simple doing away with their dairy business, they’re selling it — meaning folks will still be able to purchase the hormone and put it into their cows and into our food supply.

But like I said, the big victory here is that consumers are acting differently and causing companies to change their practices. If anything, this should encourage more people to think about their purchasing decisions, they really do make a difference.
