BOVINE GROWTH HORMONE (BGH)
This qualifies for conspiracy status because (1) whether or not
BGH has been involved in the production of the milk you drink is
kept secret from you; i.e. look in vain on the milk carton for
information as to whether BGH was used; (2) there *may* have been
collusion between FDA, Monsanto Chemicals, and vice-President Al
Gore, Tipper Gore, Michael Taylor, and David Kessler in pushing
to get BGH approved; according to Sherman Skolnick, there is a
scandal beneath the surface. Here is what Skolnick had to say as
reported in the March 22, 1994 "Conspiracy for the Day":
Involving hundreds of millions of dollars is milk bovine
hormone by Monsanto Chemicals. It speeds up milk
production. However, it causes the cows to be over-used
and develop infections which have to be treated with
antibiotics. Pasteurization tends to conceal all this.
However milk drinkers, particularly children, are
greatly at risk.
The head of the Food and Drug Administration [FDA] has
been David Kessler(sp?), carried over from the Bush
administration. His chief deputy is Mike Taylor, a
cousin of Al Gore's wife, Tipper. Taylor was previously
chief outside counsel for Monsanto.
About February '94, top FDA honcho Taylor caused to be
issued an advisory opinion that labelling is *not*
required that a product is bovine hormone free.
The following is info I received from an organization called
"Farm Aid" which is dedicated to helping the family farm to
survive. Every summer for about the past 8 years they have put on
an outdoor music concert which has featured such volunteer
performers as Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, John Cougar
Mellencamp, Willie Nelson, a band called Black 47, and many
others. Proceeds from the concerts have gone to help small
farmers.

Dear Friend of Farm Aid,
You and I have an important choice. The trouble is -- right now
milk cartons don't have enough information so that we can make a
real choice!
We've got milk on the shelves now from cows injected with a
genetically engineered drug called Bovine Growth Hormone or BGH.
This drug is injected into cows to boost milk production. The
government has just approved the sale of BGH, but does not
require a label on milk from BGH-injected cows.
