Chain (Kroger) opts for milk free of hormone
Interesting. Kroger claims they are honoring consumer preference in
getting rid of milk products raised with synthetic hormones. Could this be the start of some kind of rebellion against "chemically assisted foods"? ------------------------------------------ Chain opts for milk free of hormone From Times Wire Reports August 5, 2007 One of the nation's largest retail grocery chains has announced plans to switch to milk free of synthetic hormones. The announcement from Kroger Co. is a blow to Monsanto Co., which already had been reducing inventory of its milk production-boosting hormone as Starbucks Coffee Co. and other retailers rejected it. Monsanto, based in suburban St. Louis, markets the hormone rBST, or recombinant bovine somatotropin, under the brand name Posilac. The Food and Drug Administration and the company contend that the hormone is safe. Kroger, based in Cincinnati, said consumer preference, not safety concerns, prompted its decision. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationwo...adlines-nation

Monsanto insists (and the US government backs them up) that rBST is harmless because it's no different from the natural BST that cows already have; but even if that's true, it misses the point. Monsanto isn't giving the stuff away for free, so livestock producers are using it for the same reason athletes use steroids: *they work*. Cows on rBST grow bigger faster and make more milk than cows that just have the hormones they were born with. We banned DDT, which could be saving millions of people from malaria, because it had the potential to work up through multiple steps of the food chain to humans and bald eagles. Yet we're injecting the actual animals we're going to eat with synthetic hormones and believing they can't possibly affect us. Amazing. -- Aaron -- 285/254/200 -- aaron.baugher.biz
