1/30/07 Starbuks and Hormone Free Milk

I have got to give em credit, they just don't give up &While you and I go about the process of daily living& little "tiddly-wink" activist keep tampering with our food choices! Our lattes will now cost more after Starbucks reported they will no longer use milk or cream that contains artificial hormones because the group Food and Water Watch whined! Who are they anyway! Since Bovine growth hormones were approved by the FDA over 13 years ago as a way to keep milk prices lower by increasing milk production, there has yet to be any documented cases of illness. Odds are your family and mine helped to drink the over 14 billion gallons of this milk sold and now I am supposed to fear it in my frappachino? Isn't it interesting that the same food police that con us into paying up to $2.00 more per gallon for hormone free milk, and hammer fast food restaurants for trans fats, give Starbucks a free pass when it comes to the calorie count of say a white chocolate mocha or a maple nut scone. When are we going to stop letting a few wimpy activist dictate our food choices.
