Big Milk [Politics]

As you may have heard, a group called Center for Science in the Public Interest is going after KFC for cooking chicken in trans-fats (partially hyrdogenated oils), and is also attacking Starbucks for selling high-fat coffee drinks.

I sent the following email to CSPI.

CSPI,

I think that you should target the U.S. dairy industry. Big Milk keeps pushing the idea that "milk does a body good", when in fact, humans are not really meant to be consuming milk after infancy. At least, government regulations, labelling, and perhaps excise taxes should be used to discourage the consumption of high fat milk products.

I also find their advertising worrisome. By using cute stories ("Raymond Burr") and professional athletes with milk mustaches, Big Milk is brainwashing kids into thinking that milk is good for them. Milk advertising should be sharply curtailed.

Big Milk is also a huge recipient of corporate welfare, and it is well known that the excessive flatulence generated by cows contributes thousands of tons of methane, a greenhouse gas, into our atmosphere.

Someone needs to stand up lt the Lactose peddlers, and I think that CSPI is just the right crew for the job.
