Got Hormones?.....Stick to Soy and Rice Milk!

Got Hormones?

 

And you thought hormones were illegal without a

prescription. not for the drug pusher dairy industry

that is.

 

She has no name, just a number. One day, she'll be

ground into hamburger, but that time has yet to come.

This past year, a 2-year-old Jersey cow in North

Carolina produced 47,724 pounds of milk.

 

Her name is K-93, but she's more than just a number to

dairyman Keith Hockett. His world record holding cow

produced 5,507 gallons of milk in 365 days. The

average

American cow produces less than half that amount (2235

gallons).

 

Hocket milks 375 cows on his farm. They get fed a

mixture of corn silage, soy hull, corn gluten, hominy

and whole cotton seed along with a mineral supplement.

K-93 is now pregnant, so her milk contains enormous

amounts of steroid hormones, a gift to little human

girls who are lucky enough to be receiving her body

fluids.

 

If only moms knew what their kids were drinking.

Pregnant cows throw off more hormones than non

pregnant cows. Their milk contains enormous amounts

of estrogen, progesterone, and other steroids. In her

lifetime, that little girl will naturally manufacture

the equivalent of just one-half tablespoon of

estrogen. Who will measure the effects of daily doses

of steroid hormones on her developing body?

Society takes note of the phenomena and is armed with

a

solution. It is not in the best interests of the

media to the truth. What will happen to bottom lines

if milk mustache ads disappear?

 

Do the Hockets inject their cows with Monsanto's

genetically engineered bovine growth hormone? I

called their home and asked that question. Farmer

Hockett was out for the evening, but his proud wife

admitted that rbST (recombinant bovine somatotropen)

was injected into K-93 and many other cows at the

Hockett Dairy Farm.

 

Try to imagine the size of the udder on a cow who must

produce and carry 15 gallons of milk per day. One

hundred years ago, the average cow produced just one

quart of milk each day. K-93 has been bred and

treated with powerful growth hormones to produce six

thousand percent more milk than her ancestors.

 

The Hockets plan to begin marketing K-93 and selling

her offspring and eggs. Farmer Hocket has already

artificially inseminated five surrogate mothers with

fertilized eggs from his 1,200-pound super producer.

 

How healthy would one be to consume the entire output

of K-93's hormone-laced milk? She produces 130.75

pounds of milk (2092 ounces) each day.

 

There are 1.019 grams of fat in each ounce of milk and

4.18 milligrams of cholesterol. For comparison's

sake, one medium slice of cooked Armour bacon (16

slices to the pound) contains three milligrams of

cholesterol. K-93's daily contribution to society

would include the same cholesterol contained in 2914

slices of bacon. That's 182 pounds of bacon! Just for

the record, there are 11.8 grams of fat in one fast

food hamburger. K-93's daily milkfat would equal

the same fat in 180 burgers.

 

Poor K-93. Those udders must be pained. Do they drag

on the ground and get sores? The calcium needs placed

upon her body are enormous. Will she deplete her own

bones from within as do many other hormone injected

bovines? Slaughterhouse workers have no trouble

recognizing similarly stressed cows. They can break

their brittle pelvic bones with their hands. Imagine

such pain to a 1,200 pound animal, whose weight cannot

be supported by her own skeletal system. Hundreds of

thousands of these animals " go down " each year.

They are called " downer cows " because they refuse to

walk unless prodded...with an electrical cattle prod.

 

The lovely scene depicted on the side of milk cartons

does not reflect the reality of a cow's life and

death.

 

The skillfully promoted milk advertisements do not

reflect the realities of a lifetime of drinking

saturated animal fat, cholesterol, and powerful

hormones.

 

K-93 should be remembered as more than a number. Her

name should be Athersclerosis, or Malignancy, for that

is what she represents.
