I wouldn't doubt that organic milk is different. I was referring to the stuff we buy in the store in the last 10 years...when greed and hormones took over.

Thanks for the info....I personally never buy milk...not in my coffee or on my cereal. To me its just extra fat calories. I do, however, indulge in nonfat ice milk. :)

Most of the nutrients are in the fat. :-)

You seem to be the victim of leftist propaganda based on junk science.

The declining puberty age, just like increasing height and numerous other human physiological/biological trends are a direct result of improved diet. These trends have existed since well before anyone knew anything about hormones or steroids or anything like that. A reasonable examination of historical trends will show you this.

As civilization advances, so does the quality and quantity of human nutrition, resulting in more people achieving levels closer to their natural potential.

Remember, the radical left wants you to be weak and stupid. Persuading you to deprive yourself and your children of good nutrition is just one of their strategies. You should base your dietary concerns on real science and real research, not feckless innuendo.

Please don't bring the "greed" argument into this. This has nothing to do with greed, it has to do with making a profit, which our country and society is founded upon. It's up to individuals to decide that something is harmful and avoid it, causing the suppliers to change their product; it's not up to the supplier to decide what is good for us. If McDonald's wants to sell junk food and people will buy it, there is no greed involved in that, they are merely providing a product that people are willing to pay for.

When are people going to start taking responsibility for the things they do instead of blaming junk food restaurants and TV advertising for making them fat? No one forces them to eat that stuff, they go through the drive-through and biggie-size it all on their own.

Do not say it is someone else's job to make sure they don't feed us something that is harmful or buy something that might hurt us. That's what has made lawyers rich in this country and caused so many problems.
