Are you drinking milk? Do you make sure to buy the milk without the bovine growth hormone?

You should be.

Here is why.

What is interesting is that when I first read about this, most anyone I talked to thought it was just ’stuff I read in the Internets’. Then I saw recently the Today show had a doctor on that said this hormone was dangerous to humans. Then, people would agree. I can, no joke, tell people that I read about this on the Net, and people will be skeptical. Say I saw it on TV, everyone gasps. ‘Really?! Wow I had no idea it was dangerous.

People assume that new information was found, that the original tests were good, everyone tried their best, but a bad product slipped through.

Keep thinking that. How does the Kool Aid taste, anyway?

And if you admit that there are people and/or companies, like Monsanto, that are knowingly putting dangerous products on the shelves, what do you do when you read other things? Like how Polycarbonate plastic bottles are cancerous, or Talcum powder is cancerous, or that Flouride is cancerous, or lipstick, etc etc ad nauseum.

It’s like flipping a switch. Once you have to admit that the government and the corporations are knowingly putting dangerous products into our hands, just for profit, the world gets a lot scarier. I’ll bet no one knew about the lead paint in the toys, right? Of course our government would find out and prosecute, they have in the past right? I mean, it’s not like Bush has relaxed laws and cut funding for government agencies that are supposed to check up on things to keep us safe, right?

Ooops, he did. So the end result is that we are LESS protected, and LESS likely to have the government find and punish a company doing these kinds of things, than we were 10 years ago.

The scariest part is: how many things are we eating or using that have not been investigated, like Milk was in the movie above? And how many have been investigated, but were censored, like the movie above? Ten products? A hundred?

A thousand? What if…
