What is the Great Milk Bilk? According to Dean Kleckner the price of our milk is about to go up but without any improvement in quality…thus bilking the consumer. Why will prices go up? Because dairy farmers are being pressured to stop using rBST, a synthetic hormone that makes cows produce more milk. This is good for dairy farmers because it reduces their costs and without this hormone they will raise the prices of our milk. And those farmer are steaming mad that some milk producers are labeling their milk products “rBST Free”.

This article is frought with misinformation about how safe and wonderful rBST is. I am not sure how anyone can overlok the fact that synthetic hormones have no place in our food AND the cruelty on using this hormone within cows is just shocking. Read the article here.
