I'd like to suggest that the dairy industry be required to call their
products "NON-HUMAN BOVINE MILK ____ ( Beverage, or curd, frozen confection,
or whatever product you choose).  Don't get me wrong, I happen to love ice
cream (even if it makes me sick--I'm allergic to cow milk protein, not
lactose intolerant), but in all fairness to accurate representation, they
SHOULD bare the burden of full disclosure.  Perhaps they need to also label
it as Growth-hormone enhanced, with possible traces of pesticides, unless
it's certified by the Oregon Tilth (or other certifying body) as "Organic".
Humm, this brings up a whole bunch of possibilities of informed consent
'Just my 2 cents. :)  I do hope the whole list isn't ticked off at me
now--just the Dairy Council ;)
