Monsanto will sell off brand

Shut the place down...this another one of those hormones added to cow feed thet we do not need in our milk.....close it down !!

karmakills, You obviously have no idea about what you are talking about. Prior to commenting on anything you should first educate yourself about what your are going to comment about. Let me educate you. Posilac is not a product that is added to a dairy cows food for ingestion. Posilac is Monsanto's trade name for our injectable recombinant bovine somatotropin or rBST product that is used by dairy farmers across the globe. BST is a natural protein produced in the pituitary glands of all cattle and it helps adult cows produce milk. Regulatory agencies and independent scientific and academic organizations throughout the world have reviewed and studied the use of supplemental rbST in dairy production for over twenty years and determined it to be a safe, responsible and effective management tool for dairy farmers. And finally, this product which I believe in and have worked hard to produce has provided for my family and there are no intentions of "shutting the place down". Our product is in high demand and we are the only place in the world that can provide it.

I saw this story in the print edition, and wasn't surprised to find a Monsanto apologist "educating" us. Are you the same one who "educated" us with a letter to the editor after Kroger boldly removed rBST milk products from it shelves? While I'm sure you may be happy to make a living from this chemical additive, even casual study would tell you that rBST and other hormones injected in animals to boost production of their meat and their milk (which is liquid meat), is an UNNATURAL approach. It is not safe, nor is it harmless. Those who have "reviewed and studied" this stuff are going to try to tell us what our itching ears want to hear - because their studies are funded by the makers of these unnatural additives. It doesn't take much effort at all to find ample rebuttals to these "studies" by more responsible institutions that aren't beholden to the Machine of industry, drugs, and big profits. Do a Google search and page through the results - there's plenty of evidence against rBST. Just because the government or an industry-funded study tells us rBST is safe or good, doesn't mean that it is. I respect your efforts to make a living - but please don't lecture us with dubious "info".

Thank you Educateyourself; I, unlike 'eat organic,' find it refreshing to hear from soneone who has informative information on the topic under discussion. And eat organic, maybe SOME of the "organic" items sold in the stores are okay, but some are not--matter of fact, dependent on who the farmer is, those 'organic' foods just might kill you. and that's a fact!

That's a fact? Please back it up with proof then. Thank you.

Well now "eat organic", why don't you follow your own advise and google what you are pushing. There is a lot of information on the internet about how bad organic foods are for you. Of course you can't believe everything you read on the internet.

Thank you very much for that suggestion. I have, however, long ago resolved the "organic" versus "conventional" issue - and have gone much further than the internet to investigate all of the aspects. I'm very happy and healthy with the choice I've made, so that pretty much settles it for me. I also feel that others should know the truth about what toxins can do to the body. Hence, my original post. I wish you the very best in whatever dietstyle you choose to follow. We only have one go-round in life.
