rBST-FREE DAIRY WINS

I am totally against the industrialization of our agriculture.  I wish I could buy all of our food from organic and local farms. Currently, that is not an option. I frequently scan the grocer aisles to see if the food industry is responding to consumer concerns. With all of that said, I have begun to see several companies indicating the use of non-rBST cow in their dairy products. That means that a recombinant growth hormone is not used to make cows produce more milk than is natural. It is the next best thing to organic dairy

Cows are not cars. You should not make them artificially more efficient. They are living animals that produce young and in response produce milk. I apologize to the little calves, but I love diary.  Below is a list of products that I have found without rBST:
Any product that says "Organic"
Braums products 
Bordens milk
Mountain High Yoghurt
Kroger brand dairy 
Starbucks Coffee shops
Brown Cow Yogurt
Tillamook Cheese
Lucerne milk
