Ben & Jerry's fights efforts to ban 'hormone-free' dairy labeling

This was in 2008. We are still on the rBGH hormone issue here. I posted a great article a while back on this hormone and much proof has been rounded up to say that this is a safe hazard for americans. Here is the article on ben and jerry's icecream

From the page:
"
The hormone, which was approved by the Food and Drug Administration to boost production in dairy cows in the early 1990s, was not approved in Canada, Japan or the European Union, largely out of concerns it may be harmful to animals. And “there are unanswered human questions with it. It probably should never have been approved,” said Michael Hansen, a senior scientist with Consumers Union, which publishes Consumer Reports."
