"A
federal court in Ohio has ruled that dairies cannot legally label their
milk "hormone free" "rBST-free" or otherwise clearly tell consumers
that they aren't pumping up their cows with synthetic hormones." source
This about this for a second. It's illegal for milk companies to tell you how their products are made because the big corporation doesn't like it.

One of my favorites is Monsanto contaminated a farmers field with GE canola seed and the farmer was sued by Monsanto for patent violation and won. They have been contaminating Western Canada's fields for years. -

They are the most evil corporation I know of. -

It is unbelievable. I've been hearing about their contamination and subsequent suing of farmers who grow real crops for some time now. But this is just over the top. How can it be possible that a company could be denied the right to label their food? Complete BS. Yes, evil would be the word for it. I wonder what their broken rationale for their actions is. -

I'll admit I know little about the Monsanto company but I do know that you cannot label milk "hormone free" because all milk contains some amount of hormones in it. I also know they employ over 18,000 people and generate a revenue of over a 11 billion dollars a year. Also the FDA has said there is no danger to humans from drinking the milk or eating the meat from cows treated with these hormones. -

It isn't labeled "hormone free", it's labeled to show that the cows aren't artificially injected with certain hormones.
@smb
are you really defending the government preventing companies from labeling their products to describe the process they used to produce it?

bloc-By advertising what you are saying they are creating a false impression that one milk is better than the other. This crap isn't about hormones or labeling, its about people that think cows should be pets or wild animals and not the steaks sitting on our plates.
A quote from your article:
"When consumers go to the supermarket, many want information to help them choose those products that are most healthy, raised with high ethical standards and produced without damaging the environment. For many, that means choosing hormone-free milk."
This is a big fat load of bull. Hormone injected cows milk is no more or less healthy than cows not injected. I'd bet a million the person that wrote this has never worked on a dairy farm or much less even saw a cow. Do these people have any idea what cows and the other animals ingest throughout their lifetime? I doubt it.

Cows in natural environments eat grass. It's amazing that you openly defend this.

I'm not openly defending anything I can just see their point. This is just like the gun issue. People who have never even seen a gun outside of Hollywood bullshit think they want to dictate what will reduce gun violence when they seriously don't know what they are talking about.
Most people bitching about this if they actually saw and interacted with a cow in its "natural" environment would never eat meat or drink milk. Cows are just about the most disgusting creatures on the face of this planet and these idiots are worried about hormones when the FDA says there is an overwhelming concensus that it doesn't affect humans.

"It's starting to look like they think they can get it back by amping up all the qualities that cost them the election in the first place. But I'm off topic."This is just like the gun issue."This is nothing like the gun issue. It's about the government telling farmers that they cannot label their product stating that it does not contain artificial growth hormones. -
stopmediabias said on May 05, 2009....
It's like the gun issue in that the idiots who know nothing about gun's are trying to dictate ridiculous policies. Any milk product that says "does not contain artificial growth hormones" is completely misleading and gives an unfair advantage. -
bloc said on May 05, 2009....
Wow, we are really in Orwell land now. SMB is claiming that a simple statement of fact is misleading and that Americans shouldn't be able to make informed decisions on their own. Wow, the new face of the Republican party will lose every election on this platform. -
