[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do know they test the milk every single day to make sure antibiotics are not in the milk, right, PP?  
On the "hormones" point - most stores now offer grocery-store brand milk that is "hormone free".  Just buy the grocery store kind almost anywhere if you are worried about that.[/quote]

You do know that those aren't the only reasons people buy organic, right? I personally don't like the idea of the non-organic milk cows eating animal byproducts. That's how BSE started, but it's still awesomely legal to feed a conventional cow a bunch of ground up chicken and cow parts in their feed as "protein filler."

Also, I've study chemistry long enough to be very wary of big ag. Good rule of thumb: if Monsanto is involved somewhere in the creation of a food product, don't eat that food. rBGH may not be detectable in milk, but what else might be present that's not getting tested? If big ag doesn't have to test, so they don't test. The seminal study that Monsanto uses to "prove" rBGH's safety is based on 28 cows, some rats, and the rats' reaction to cow IGF. To me, it's just not worth drinking large quantities of frankenliquid based on such a small N and such non-generalizable results.[/quote]

Yes!!!! I completely agree. New poster here. I could go on and on about how Monsanto is screwing America. I have been meaning to do a post to find out how I complain about them and who should I direct my letter to or where can I sign a petition. If Monsanto has there way we won't have much choice. Farmer's markets selling food you can trust freeof GMOs will be a thing of the past. I know Obama has a lot on his plate, but I expected someone like him to stand up to the GMO giant, but instead he gives his nod of approval.[/quote]
