Not triumphing over it. Not destroying it. Yet, there he is: crouching, making fire for his camp in the field. It is a fire which will catch onto the twigs at the woods' edge and burn the trees to death. And the man stands up, shaking his head, not fully comprehending what he has done, while he clutches one of his hands in another. He has burnt the back of Mother Nature. Indeed, he has done it again. Feb. 3 was the official day when a genetically engineered hormone will be a part of some milk and dairy products.

This is not the only problem with BST. The hormones might increase the amount of pus and bacteria in milk. Also, it is feared that the antibiotics used to fight BST-caused diseases might cause greater antibiotic and chemical contamination of milk and dangerous resistances to antibiotics in humans. The U.S. economy could be affected. Taxpayers might pay anywhere between $300 million and $500 million during the next six years. Also, 30 percent of dairy farmers could be abuse of animals?

The warnings and fears associated with this new method of milk production is not a cry of wolf. Yet, it should not be a cry of sudden blindness. It is a real and tangible thing to be reck oned with. To simply shut a mouth and shut a pair of eyes is foolish. Maybe the effects won't be as bad as they seem. Maybe they won't even materialize at all. But the dairy industry is not the only one being affected by this hormone. In order to visually appeal better and grow bigger, vegetables and fruits will be affected by hormones like BST. Again, the FDA does not plan to require labeling when the full health ramifications are not completely known. A man still stands with Fists, unwavering, falling to his sides.
