Today, milk from BST-injected cows is on grocery shelves. No one knows how much is on the market, though, because there is no requirement for labeling. A few dairy companies promote their milk as being BST-free. Patricia Olson, director of veterinary affairs and studies for the American Humane Association, said her organization favors labeling for food products derived from genetically changed animals. Milk elicits an emotional reaction in American consumers, she added.

It's considered white gold. Murray, of course, looks upon it differently. Asked about possible labeling rules for the milk he envisions, the professor of animal science exhibits the optimism of an inventor who trusts that he is offering improvements for society. I don't think that would require labeling any more than BST-derived milk. And he expressed hope that cow's milk that is more like human milk would be in greater demand than the garden variety.
