Cows were not injected with synthetic hormones 50 years ago

My point exactly. 50 years ago, consumers of milk were ingesting the same hormones they are today. Why are these hormones bad for you today when they weren't bad for you 50 years ago?

They also weren’t fed to each other in place of their normal diet.

Do you think domestic producers of beef are still feeding their animals products known to cause mad cow? Are grains a part of of a cow's "normal" diet? What constitutes a "normal" diet for cattle?

No, I don’t think you’re trying to make the same point. Synthetic hormones in mass quantities are not the same as trace amounts of natural hormones. Do you not see the difference?

Cows are herbivores, not cannibals. Grains are a part of their normal diet. Body parts from other cows are not part of their normal diet.
