Well, I suppose today is "bash Monsanto" day. When I looked up information for the previous article, I came across some very interesting things that should be shared. Especially to Milk drinking Americans....
Monsanto, the same giant bio-tech company who created “Agent Orange”, PCB’s, and Roundup®, has been producing and selling to farmers, (with the FDA’s blessing, which is another strange story in itself), recombinant bovine growth hormone (rbGH), a hormone that increases milk production in dairy cattle, at the expense of these animals health.
The story could stop there, and readers might inquire as to why I’m passing this information on, however.....
Monsanto certainly doesn’t want consumers to know much about recombinant bovine growth hormone (rbGH), because it’s been widely reported that rbGH can increase toxicity in cows and cancer risk in humans, hence Monsanto is trying to bully labellers NOT to put ingredient information on the milk you drink, so as not to scare of the buying public....
Funny, but I think people's health should be a little bit more important than this corporations profit margins, but hey that's just my humble opinion.
Now don’t shoot the messenger. Check out these very interesting and informative links for yourself.

As for me, you ask? I’m going to get a glass of milk that is free of anything produced by the producer of Agent Orange.
