According to industry statistics, about 18% of U.S. dairy cows are treated with rbST.

Here is some good info.

 They say Walmart quit, but I do not trust Walmart policies anymore. Too much politics anymore.

Here is a real good link.

No wonder so many people are vegetarians. They can't afford to eat animal products that aren't "chemically enhanced".  Shocked All that "organic" stuff is at least twice the price of the other foods and most of us can barely afford groceries now. It is kind of amusing that people will put down their tobacco and alcohol long enough to tell us how they eat healthy, though.  evil6

BTW, gas in the western 'burbs is around $2.339 but it's still $3.099 in Chicago. I'm glad I don't drive to work.

The fight against rBST aka bovine growth hormone (RbGh), has been long standing. RbGH is linked to pus and blood entering the milk of cows, not to mention increasing antibiotic resistance in people due to the numerous antibiotic drugs given to cows weakened by rBST. In fact, in a 1994 LA Times editorial, Samuel S. Epstein, MD wrote  “Monsanto’s own data further show up to an 80% incidence of mastitis, an udder infection, in hormone-treated cattle and resulting contamination of milk with statistically significant levels of pus…”

Unless your drinking organic milk, your drinking the same hormones that they give the beasts to produce more milk per day.

I am unaffected by the rise or fall of dairy, as I drink Soy Milk.  It tastes better, and is better for you.  It is F#@&ing expensive though, at over $3.00 per HALF gallon....

Isn't Arizona run by the Mafia? Instead of beating you up in the alley their beating you at the gas pump.  2funny The gas used to be cheaper in my area until Cincinnati built their new Stadiums. That when our gas became the same price as their's so the people in Cincinnati wouldn't come over here to get gas. Pisses me off we got to pay for a Stadium for those rich F#@&ers. Do you know that when the stadium doesn't sell out your taxes buy those empty seats? Thats why Los Angeles got rid of the NFL teams.

Milk UK , around  $4.50 usd , for 1/2  American gallon ,

Petrol UK  ( regular)  $5.60  for  a US gallon ,  down now from  $ 8.20 usd at the high peak
but it wont last at that cheap price , Opec has cut oil production again , as there is lack of demand
