WalMart switches to Hormone Free Milk

April 11, 2008

Walmart has switched it store brand milk to rBGH free milk. This may mark

the end of rBGH in milk. It is a message I relay with mixed feelings. The

overall effect of WalMart as the dominant retailer in America has been very

costly

to the livelihoods of many one-time middle class citizens. But on the other

hand, we do live in a huge market based society. Unfortunately there is truth

to the saying " the market giveth and the market taketh away " I was

surprised to see that Walmart is the largest seller of Organic foods. The

pressure

of enough consumers have been felt at the policy level of corporate

decisionmaking, it took 14 years from the introduction and approval of rBGH in

milk in

February 1994. It finally worked and Monsanto may now at least realize that

what started as the first consumer crop of Genetically Engineered foods has

turned to failure. I feel vindicated on the issue of food safety, but I feel a

loss of innocence I once had.
