On Saturday, The Akron Beacon Journal ran a story about how consumer demand for artificial hormone-free milk is changing the look of dairy departments.
No longer will health conscious folks have to run to Whole Foods for the overpriced organic stuff. Within the next few weeks, chains like Giant Eagle and Krogers will carry milk from cows that haven’t been injected with rbST, the artificial hormone that helps cows produce more milk.
To most, this would seem to be excellent news. No matter what the government says, consumers have long feared anything with the words “artificial hormones” in the ingredients, since they don’t want their kids to start growing moustaches in the first grade. Yet Beacon reporter Rick Armon doesn’t appear to see it that way…

Ok, you say its safe? THey said DDT would not harm us. They say power lines do not harm us, look at the studies on how electromagnetic fields affect our bodies???? I think our children’s heatlh is more important than the price of milk.
How could Rick Armon be so irresponsible as to not truly research his piece. The sad part is as always there are innocent duped people who think Mr. Armon’s thought matter just because they are in ink. One would “almost” think that he got a kick back from Monsanto. If there is duping going on – it’s by him!
Even his argument that having hormone free milk available would drive up the prices are words from an idiot as indeed it drives the prices of the poisoned milk down for those who are given a choice and want the cheaper chemical containing milk!
