Fw: Support Dairy Free from rBGH/rBST - and Get Free Ice Cream

[Guest guest]

----- Forwarded Message ----From: Citizens for Health <info@...>

April 29, 2008 - Ben & Jerry's was one of the first ice cream makers to label their ice creams as free of recombinant bovine growth hormones, or rBGH/rBST.

However, as you know, thanks to efforts by Monsanto (the makers of rBST) and others, some states are now trying to BAN the labeling of milk as hormone-free, claiming it is unfair - yes, unfair! - because it implies hormone-free milk is safer than milk that comes from cows that have been injected with chemicals that aren't even approved in other countries. Imagine!

It is critical that we not only decry encroachments on the right to know what we are putting into our bodies and inform consumers about the use of rBGH and rBST, but also applaud those who have led the way in providing food and dairy free of hormones and genetic manipulation.

That is why we encourage our supporters to turn out to their nearest scoop shop for Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day, from 12 PM - 8 PM on Tuesday, April 29.

Download and sign a letter to thank Ben & Jerry's for refusing to use artificial hormones in their ice cream - and get a free treat!

(If you refrain from dairy or sugar, drop off a thank-you letter anyway and let them know they did the right thing for consumers).

Yours in health
