Even though they have never tested the products the FDA says milk from cows injected with Monsanto's rBST hormone is safe. Because the rBST also makes cows susceptible to illness they are given antibiotics by the carload and they are in the milk. So the next time you need an antibiotic you will find that all the approved ones the bugs are resiistant to. The development of new antibiotics has slowed dramatically.

Monsanto has bought our government lock, stock and barrel.

Most of our government agencies suffer from revolving doors.

At least the AEC has not called lately, they used to phone about every three years to see if Florence is still alive.
