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.

Health Care Statistics
60% Bankruptcies are due to medical bills. More than 75% of these bankrupt families ahd health insurance but still were overwhelmed by their medical debts.
92% of medical debtors had debts more than $5,000.
25% of firms cancel coverage immediately when an employee suffers a disabling illness; about another 25% do so within a year.
We have a BROKEN health care system. It will take a major change in thinking differently, not just doing more of the same things.

Wellness Newsletter Exerpts
This year’s group was made up of four chiropractors and a geologist and we couldn’t come up with the punch line for a joke we were trying to make: Four chiropractors and a geologist walked into…
We rode up through Washington and into Idaho and the last day began from Joseph and rode down through small towns like Long Creek, Mitchell, and Prineville. The last day we rode 450 miles — 12 hours on the road, which is 9 longer than, I prefer. But I had three insights that I pondered on this 1,200 mile ride.
Riding a ridge on the way to Walla Walla, Washington. This was one of the rare times I’m not looking at the scenery. It was a few miles down this very road that I had a nice, friendly conversation with a state trooper, who wanted to talk to me. He gave me some good, helpful advice while riding in Washington. In the Eastern part of the state where we were heading he said the Meth problem is out of control. College kids go to campgrounds and have parties and it wasn’t unusual to bust almost any group they came across.
The first lesson was about food. When you are on the road you often do not have choices you usually have so for the first time in about three years I had a cheeseburger and fries — for breakfast! I know. It was in Spray and burgers were the only food on their menu. Many people have these things every week, so what’s one every three years? I assumed that the beef was local because there were many ranches in the area. The hamburger that you get in fast food places is usually from South America and is mixed from several different farms. So my first lesson was; sometimes you just have to eat what’s on the menu. If you eat well most the time then the times when you have no choice will be okay. You’ll get by.
