Righteous Indignation (heh)

"That's right, America. If you are drinking milk that isn't organic or doesn't have words such as “no rBST” or “hormone free” on the label, then you are drinking something that has been banned in Europe, Canada and Japan." - From The Daily Green (click on the milk bottle day)

I just recently found this out, and I wanted to post it for any friends ( Read more... )

This makes me pretty pissed off as well :/

I have been checking labels on milk for about a month now (used to buy from a small dairy in MI) and if it doesn't have the "no RBST" or "hormone free" on it, I won't buy it! Strange, though, the milk I have been buying lately only has those stickers on the 2% and 1% and skim...not the whole milk.

That HFCS thing makes me mad mad mad! And, boy, that stuff is in next to EVERYTHING! I have also been doing my best to cut that out as well! (except for an occasional Pepsi...) I have been checking labels like crazy!

We visited a new Hispanic super-market recently, they had Coke's from Mexico made with SUGAR! Not HFCS :) It tasted good and lacked that weird sticky aftertaste :)

Though I HATE Coke (lol), I do like that other Mexican soda...what, Jarritos or something? I will have to find a Hispanic market...shouldn't be hard, I live in SoCal now!

Hey, I've had Jarritos before; it was pretty good. I haven't drank any soda in something like two months now except for one 12 oz 7-UP that my husband bought me, because I didn't want to waste the money. I can't believe it, but I kicked the habit!

I avoid HFCS, I think it is crap and have found I have allergies to it that make me break out all over - yuck.

Milk, that's another subject for me. Mammals wean from their mother's teat for a reason, and I think it is weird that humans drink milk past weaning, and from a COW!

Corn has really been crap for a lot of years, like there is no pure corn left out of any crops :( So sad.

I am trying to rid all HFCS from our diets.

I have no problems drinking milk... I just can't believe that the US seems to conveniently ignore other countries higher standards. Well, I can believe it, but it boggles the mind.

You know...I have noticed a bit of a rash and it didn't seem to come around till I had some soda with that nasty HFCS.
