when milk is not milk

spectacular example of the lies and stretched truths put forth by lobbyists.

the milk is milk and stop labeling lies campaigns are just pathetic. do they really think people are going to go to those sites and buy their BS?

my personal favorites:

misleading links used to pretend there are actual supporting facts behind claims made in hyperlinks "broad based coalition" links to a page with no reference to coalition members (made up mostly of mothers they say), but instead features a long list of "suspect" pro-organic organizations the milk is milk site opposes. This is particular offensive because it almost implies that the organizations that they are opposed to actually support them in addition to not including the implied but almost certainly non-existent "broad based coalition" of mostly concerned mothers.

likewise, the "labeling lies" link takes you to a page where claims such as "we do not use antibiotics" are considered "lies" because they don't consider the fact that milk "is tested" for antibiotics.

Cannot your money be better spent? I suspect the people that this in designed to reach (the people paying for it, to feel like they're doing something) feel great about this, but if you get 10 people to be anything other than bored or outraged by the "information" on these sites you're fooling yourself.
