Colleen Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Quick FYI...In a discussion on the previous board, MargaretWV (not sure if she's registered here yet) noted that as of January 1, 2008, Pennsylvania no longer allows rBST/rBGH (synthetic hormone)-free milk to be labeled accordingly. There was a big outcry against the new regulation, such that it's already been modified ~ essentially reversed.

Marie in Oh Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I wonder if it also got reversed. When we lived in CA I never felt too bad about drinking non- organic because it was so easy to at least find milk w/o hormones in it. Of course, I still new organic was be best, but at least there was a better option than regular. Any idea, Colleen, if Ohio will follow suit and reverse it too? I am buying either Organic (OV when I can get it) or I've started getting some local milk too. I feel much better about those choices, however, every once and a while, I still run out and there is no option in my little town for anything but regular milk. I was happy to see that OH was going rBST free, but now maybe not. Maybe me thinks too much about milk. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 Ohio conducted some hearings on this issue (whether or not to allow labeling of rBGH-free milk) late last year. Apparently it was quite the heated debate, but I've not heard whether a decision has been made. I imagine PA's reversal will have an effect on the Ohio outcome. Thinking too much about milk? Pish posh!;) One can never think too much about food! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
