The company wants to make money,

That's their sole and proper aim in life.
Caveat emptor.


exactly, it is only by making money that they can pay employees and also pay
tax which goes towards the paying of all those civil servants, public health
workers, and similar


But it also means they may not bother to be too careful about
helping their customers to attend to the proper choices, the refuges
if it means selling less GM seed, or herbicide or pesticide if it
frightens the customer off to draw their attention to the
instructions.


That's the job of the regulator you elected. Please get the job
designations right, or you will be ever disappointed.


The regulator has got Monsanto to write it into the contract with the
intention of policing it that way. They could have gone around the farms
themselves and educated every farmer and told them what to buy from
Monsanto, and policed it themselves. Better?
