Hi Millly,
Thanks for the comments. I hear what you are saying. I will say that one does not have to buy organic in order to avoid the rBGH in their dairy products. Many products now are labeled rBGH-free or hormone-free and haven't gone to the trouble and expense of becoming certified organic (which is expensive and causes the price of the item to go up when its organic). Again I'm not saying everyone should buy organic. I am saying I wish we were not promoting this particular product since it contains a highly questionable toxin, and I suggest people buy whatever yogurt brand they like (and can afford). I just want people to be aware. Then they can make the correct choice for themselves and their families.
Actually kids these days are being fed a lot more yogurt for the pribiotic benefits. We actually don't eat boxed cereal (that's a whole other topic) and we drink milk fresh from a farm, which surprisingly is very affordable.
I am choosing to target the Yoplait campaign because I feel it is so hypocritcal. And because I am a ZTA I am being associated with it. I just can't stand by anymore and let that happen without at least speaking up.
Katy
