Re: Vissicitudes of BST



Ron:  thanks for the copy of Rachel's - I had kept it myself in hopes 
of framing it somewhere prominent on the day BST was finally 
pronounced dead.  I keep hoping.  

You mention labelling, and I have been surprised at how many people 
outside of the applied agricultural community do not know that the 
milk they are drinking could come from cows dosed with BST, or that 
the tomatoes they are eating could (soon) be FlavrSaver tomatoes etc.  
Everyone seems to assume that a) the government will protect them, 
and b) they will do the "right" and logical thing and label such 
products, just as they now label by country of origin.  Wrong on both 
counts.  Ann
