The Kansas State Department of Agriculture is considering a regulation that would limit dairy processors' ability to label milk products as "rBGH-free." Sound familiar? We told you about similar initiatives in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and that the Organic Trade Association filed a lawsuit over a Ohio rule that bans rBGH-free labels. The International Dairy Foods Association also joined this case, arguing that the regulation will provide an economic burden to manufacturers that choose to make production claims on their products. Think about all the printing costs a company would face if forced to change its labels. For example, in Kansas, less than 20 percent of the dairy cows are given rBGH. Why should the producers not using the hormone pay the price of stricter labeling? In February, the Kansas Senate considered a bill that prevents companies from using messages about hormone use on food labels. It hasn't passed, and opponents say the bill and now the proposed department regulation are a result of heavy lobbying efforts by the hormone's manufacturer. On December 2, 2008, a public hearing will be held at the Kansas Department of Agriculture. You can also submit written comments prior to the hearing. Learn more here.

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.
Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.
