It is true that there is some ice cream that still comes from cows injected with the genetically engineered growth hormone rBGH (rBST). This increases levels of pus and accumilates another growth hormone that promotes cancer that you get to eat.
Um, that last part isn’t so good. In fact, it’s intolerable and it’s time to inform the ice cream producers that allow rBGH (rBST) that we know what they’re doing and don’t like it one bit.
Breyers and Dreyer’s are by far the biggest two ice cream producers in the country. Dreyer’s, which includes Edy’s and Haagen Dazs, has about 25% of the market share. Breyers, which includes Good Humor, Klondike and Popsicle, has about 16%. Two other major companies that still allow rBGH are Nestle and Wells/Blue Bunny.
In the past five years there is an underground network that has sent thousands of postcards to such companies as Tillamook, Fred Meyer/Kroger, Safeway, Darigold and Alpenrose, asking them politely to go rBGH-free.
After seeing how much consumers wanted rBGH-free dairy, and calculating how much money they were losing by allowing rBGH, they all decided to go partially or completely rBGH-free. The same thing happened with Dannon and Yoplait over the past year and a half and both have announced they’ll be completely rBGH-free by the end of this year.
Who said you're not part of change in this country?
There is a new postcare campaign underway directed to Breyers and Dreyers to get them to stop them from putting this growth hormone into their ice cream.
