Everett Koop called upon food retailers to act responsibly in the face of extreme fringe group attacks on the safety of milk from cows supplemented with protein-based growth hormones. A copy of Dr. Koop s statement is attached. Starbucks should step up to the plate as a responsible corporate citizen and meet Dr. Koop s challenge.
Consumers deserve choice and accurate information.
This suggests you may not continue to offer the same safe and affordable conventionally produced milk that you have always provided. I hope this is not true. Please let me know if it is your intention to provide only certified organic dairy products, or if you intend to provide both certified organic alternatives, and the safe and more affordable conventional milk that you currently provide. Please do not contribute to the vast misinformation campaigns being spread by the extreme activists. Milk from cows supplemented with protein-based growth hormones, which naturally occur in all cows, is the same safe, nutritious milk.
