Milking the Situation

This made me smile today. Thanks to the Ethicurean for tipping us off to this.

Alex Avery, the research director for the Hudson Institute’s Center for Global Food Issues, expressed frustration today with raw milk activists’ vandalism of a California billboard. You may remeber my post about the CGFI awhile back…they are a big agricorp supporter…heck they are agricorp (ConAgra, Archer Daniels, Monsanto, and Midland).

Under the guise of “protecting” consumers from misleading labeling, like “rBGH free,” Avery and his Center for Global Food Issues have launched one of the most transparently ridiculous campaigns ever seen. Milk is Milk.

Well of course the CGFI hates organic milk advertising that boasts of being free of Monsanto’s synthetic bovine growth hormones — used to increase milk production at the expense of our health. Since Monsanto is one of the companies behind this bogus organization I can’t believe they expect us to think that the CGFI is interested in anything other than profit.
