This is not a correct statement. The milk itself is unaltered. The cows are treated with the rBST to help them produce more, and it is the same protein that is produced naturally in a cow's system. What is positive about this production practice is that it has allowed United States dairy farmers to produce enough milk for our country to consume and enough milk to export to other countries. We have a huge population to feed and I think something that we can all agree on is that people need to eat.<br /><br />We appreciate you reading the blog and enjoy the comments. Keep the coming!tera rooney barnhardt https://www.blogger.com/profile/00183025675250451544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721605227414808696.post-63905503646599365002010-11-08T08:05:00.373-08:002010-11-08T08:05:00.373-08:00So you are saying you want your children to eat pe...So you are saying you want your children to eat pesticides? Why wouldn't you avoid that stuff if you can/choose to? I don't think pesticide is a dirty word but it would seem logical to avoid pesticide ingestion if you can. And why wouldn't I also want to buy milk that did not have 'extra' stuff added to it. I like to choose things that don't have extra stuff added to them if i can avoid them.Scott Finkeldeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280697049979926995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721605227414808696.post-10046930577792260622010-04-08T19:26:41.265-07:002010-04-08T19:26:41.265-07:00Tera - Agreed!

Pg. 36 of the May 2010 issues has incomplete information about organic fruit. And, they use "pesticides" as a dirty word to scare moms away from conventionally produced fruit. The magazine is going green, going organic, and going straight to my recycling bin! I'm hoping my new blog project can start to get the "whole story" out there! Thanks for the good work - keep it up!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12345146675389703214noreply@blogger.com
