Monsanto and pesiticides (and growth hormones, and PCBs)

I just watched this really interesting documentary called "The World According to Monsanto". It's a very interesting film looking at Monsanto's advertising vs. actual cases of environmental and health hazards. Genetically modified soybeans and corn are affecting not only America, but Mexico and South America because US GM corn is hybridizing with native corn. Bovine growth hormone (rBGH) made by Monsanto increases mastitis (inflammation of mammary glands), increases the amount of pus in milk, and increases the risk of cancer. PCBs (like the ones found at the plant in Glens Falls) in high concentrations can kill small animals and increase the risk of cancer.

There are many more websites you can find for yourself, but please, think twice before you use pesticides on your lawn or garden (especially if you have kids or pets!!). Pretty much all milk in the US that is labelled otherwise contains Bovine Growth Hormone, so it's my opinion to go organic and rBGH free.
