Expel GE Hormones from School Milk!

The federal nutrition programs are a major provider of milk to our nation’s school-age children. According to the National Milk Producers Federation, nearly 430 million gallons of milk were distributed through the National School Breakfast, Lunch, and Special Milk programs during the 2005-2006 school year. Unfortunately, a significant amount of this milk may have been produced with the artificial, genetically engineered growth hormone rBGH. 

Can you sign our petition to ask Congress to state that schools can purchase artificial hormone-free milk and organic milk?

 

Full Petition Text:

Dear Member of Congress:

I urge you to include language in the Child Nutrition Act stating that schools and other federal feeding programs can purchase artificial hormone-free milk and organic milk.

Schoolchildren deserve milk that is produced without controversial products like rBGH, and school food service directors deserve clear guidance on their right to request rBGH-free milk. Please support this effort to improve the milk served to children in our schools.
