Re: milk is milk - my turn to rant!

[Guest guest]

I am having a hard time catching up with the posts since I have been gone alot lately, let alone posting much these days, but this one really got my fur a flyin'!! I normally like sit back and soak up all the great stuff and post a question now and them when I'm stumped. But Whew!! What a crock of manure! I hope I don't offend too many with this but I gotta say something... I'm a few days behind here, so accept my deepest apologies, please.

Twelve years ago I ran across an article about the dangers of rBST. It was so well written and detailed that I freaked out and dropped all dairy from my life. I wrote the FDA a loooong letter of protest about the use of the stuff. I venture to say it was my most cunning literay achievement to date(lol). What I got back was nothing short of the equivelant of the IRS forms for a small business last year...It was the biggest wad of *** I've ever read - a huge manilla envelope chocked full of propaganda! {I still have it, in fact, for what it's worth, and their lies are still the same today as they were back 12 years ago!}. Boy did it reak!! We've been listening to the big corp dairies and the FDA/USDA whine and complain about the "hormone free/rBST free labeling" for years now. They've put some wonderfull companies out of business with their railing & whining and now it

appears that they have found someone willing to sound the *pity party* horn LOUD for them. Poor, poor FDA, USDA and {many} corp dairies.....I feel *so* bad for them having to work so hard ruining our milk and poisoning our cows and our lives with unwanted and unnec things! Tsk, tsk.

Yeah, right!! IMHO, The only reason these labels are bothering them is that people are finally starting to wise up to what the govt is doing to our foods -- i.e. these *deceptive labels* are working to get people's attention and alert them to the crap in our foods! Uh, oh, and that's eating into someone's bottom line and they're not happy. Now they just want to take their toys and go home....It is just pathetic that someone would actually, outloud, with full brain power and senses about them say this stuff outloud!! UGH!! The audacity!! Anyone else out there enraged by this??? (like I said I'm a few days behind). Please tell me I'm not alone!!

Okay, I'm thru with the rant...needing some cool comforting kefir about now....signing off...

Wren,

You GO girl! I think most on this list feel as you do. Glad you

voiced it.

Just FYI, Sally Fallon of the WAPF told all of us chapter leaders

yesterday that the FDA recently had a meeting with lots of health dept.

officials from states around the country and there were 2 things on the

agenda to discuss. One was improving UHT methods, and the other

was....the Weston A. Price Foundation. We must be making waves to be

on their radar screen.

Nope not even close to being alone. And you're just talking one

issue ....milk. There's all the other other stuff our gov. just

let's fly through. I personally like studies that show only such and

such a percent of people will die so the cost analysis shows it's

not that bad......

My husband does air pollution work and regularly comes across those.

After looking around more at the Center for Global Food Issues I saw

their director, Avery (author of " raw milk sickens 70 "

http://www.cgfi.org/materials/articles/2002/jul_9_02.htm ) works for

Monsanto.

" The latest " rat " to jump Monsanto's ship is the " Milk is Milk "

website maintained by the Hudson Institute, a bunch of corporate

yahoos. " Milk is Milk " was hatched in recent years to attack critics

of milk from Posilac-injected dairy cows. The Hudson Institute uses

Dennis Avery and his son as a " hit squad " attacking persons

opposing food biotechnology.

Monsanto has been both a member and a major contributor to the

Hudson Institute. Since Monsanto is the only corporation selling

recombinant bovine growth hormone (Posilac), it's presumed Monsanto

has been the source of money for the " milk is milk " website. No

More. "
