The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture has banned milk companies from labeling their packaging ''rBST-free'' or ''BGH-free'' (The Morning Call, Nov. 14). Thanks to intense pressure by Monsanto Company, which manufactures artificial bovine growth hormone, the consumer is no longer allowed to make an informed decision about what kind of milk he or she wants to drink.
Here, here, Karen. I agree. I bet some the people leading the PA Dept. of Agriculture are former or current employees of Monsanto.
SUGGESTION: Hey, let's ask our grocery stores to advertise on their shelves which milk products are hormone free. I know there are some grocery stores that care about what their customers want. They could print it right on the price tag on the shelf.

why can't I comment on your family blog young martin
went to comment on your triangle blog and low and behold, I couldn't. I find it funny how you can find humor in obscene gestures made by anyone no matter how old. what church do you attend that would condone such things? I sure hope you don't discipline your other children if they flip someone the bird.
hey, is the martin triangle related to the bermuda triangle? what is the significance of the triangle thing? is it also vulgar?
I just noticed that you said the triangle is wife, hubby and God. Shouldn't God be before either of you?
Comments are back on at martintriangle.
so you randomly decided to pick this up again? I don't know much about milk, but the farm milk is good, do they use hormones?
Since rBST cannot be tested for in the milk coming from the dairies, there is no way to substantiate the claims of rBST "free" milk being on your store shelves. This is a hormone that occurs naturally in the cows and has never been found to pose any threat to humans or, in fact, any animals, it should not be banned. Labeling a product as "hormone free" is false advertising, all milk has hormones in it. Labeling any milk as rBST free is also false advertising as this claim cannot be proven and must rely on farmer's integrity, which may be compromised by a financial incentive to lie. Therefore leave us rBST until you can PROVE that it is harmful!
