No, it's not a cow, but it is a farm animal.
We need some good news around here (rain! more rain!), and guess what? I found some. The Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility reports that:
“Use of genetically engineered bovine growth hormone (rBGH) to induce more milk production in dairy cows reportedly has declined over the past few years. …the number of U.S. dairies using rBGH is now about 9 to 12 percent, down from 15.2 percent in 2007. The number of cows injected is 10 to 14 percent, down from 17.2 percent.”
We don’t want it, we don’t buy it, they stop using it, or they use less of it. Isn’t that wonderfully simple?

Yay. That is good news. Although wouldn’t it be nice if it was ZERO percent?
