First off most milk producers use rBGH free as a selling point as most Americans are not to keen on buying it. They make it pretty pronounced on the labels. I have yet to even try the stuff. Guessing it may be used in some of the cheaper milk brands or something. Curious now if it could be sold at places like Wal Mart (I do not shop there for food items).

I am aware the hormone people tried to pay of some Canadian officials. That ended in a small scandal. Though you did fail to mention that many think that it also is sort of like crack for cows and seems to be linked to mad cow or Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy.

It also is banned in Europe too. You just seemed to gloss over in your research that 95% of all dairy farmers in the US also boycott it. I had to look up actual percentage, figured it would of been lower as I am so used to human greed.
