the Monsanto milk beast and Mad Cow

If you think CorporateWorld can't get any more conniving, you've not figured on Monsanto.

This is the biotech outfit that's trying to profit by putting its artificial growth hormones into our milk supply. Since consumers overwhelmingly reject this adulteration, Monsanto lobbyists got our government to let this milk be marketed with no labeling of the adulteration, so we milk-buyers won't know what we're getting.

The good news is that several dairies have responded by declaring on their milk cartons: "No Artificial Growth Hormones Used." The bad news is that Monsanto greedheads have unleashed packs of their attack-dog lawyers to sue several of these dairies, claiming that these "No Artificial Hormones" labels are -- get this -- false and misleading, because they might cause you and me to think that natural milk is better for us than milk with Monsanto's additive.

Oakhurst is the third small dairy that this biotech goliath's money has beaten down, and others are targeted. For the purity of our milk, marketplace and judicial system -- we consumers need to stand against the bully. Call the Organic Consumers Association: 218-226-4164.

THE MAD COW CONNECTION TO ALZHEIMER'S Alzheimer's disease, little known just a generation ago, is now so common in our land that the term has come to be used as a joke, as in: "Excuse me for forgetting your name –– I'm having an Alzheimer's moment."

Of course, it's no joke, but a cruel and fatal disease that essentially dissolves the brain, causing victims literally to lose their minds. Alzheimer's has been surging in America over the past two decades, now being the eighth-leading cause of death, afflicting some four million of our people.

But there's one aspect of this that the economic and political powers in our country don't want scientists discussing in public: Autopsy studies done at Yale and elsewhere show that some percentage of people diagnosed with Alzheimer's were misdiagnosed. They actually had another brain-wasting disease called CJD, and thousands of these cases might well be a variety of CJD caused by Mad-Cow infected meat that the victims ate years earlier.

Second, there should be a national monitoring system of all CJD cases to determine the extent of Mad Cow infection behind these cases. However, the Bushites have rejected formal petitions to enact such basic monitoring, which is done for all sorts of other diseases, again not wanting to upset the beef purveyors.

I stopped eating meat a long while ago and I've been cutting down on milk, but I'm going to stop drinking milk too.

and I've stopped eating cheese except for Feta cheese. Please tell me Feta is alright!

anything a corporation touches is degraded including people.
