Welcome indeed! I imagine we'll be getting a great deal more attention in the coming months ahead.

We are a bit before our time and our tales lag about 6 month to a year in the mainstream mentality. Sometimes even more...

We may seem "out there". But only for awhile longer.

See also the JFSAG board for our political/economic complement.

Monsanto forced to stop selling genetically engineered bovine growth hormone because of cancer risk to humans who consume beef..

What is rBGH?

rBGH (recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone) is a genetically engineered variant of the natural growth hormone produced by cows. Manufactured by Monsanto, it is sold to dairy farmers under the trade name Posilac. Injection of this hormone forces cows to boost milk production by about 10%, while increasing the incidences of mastitis, lameness, and reproductive complications.

Monsanto has been lobbying state legislatures and departments of agriculture around the country to harass dairies that won't use Posilac. Monsanto wants to take away dairies' right to tell consumers they're rBGH-free. Please go to the following OCA state action centers to learn more and take action:

Missouri

Kansas

Ohio

Pennsylvania

Utah
