Tigers Helping Cows and People

Filed Under:

LSU tigers, that is.


Citing a desire to support local farmers and provide a healthier option for their students, Lousiana State University campus dining switched to hormone free milk this fall.

Marketing junior Stanford Ponson summed up the issue nicely when he said "Well, there's a lot of unanswered questions. RGBH [recombinant Bovine Growth hormone] is illegal in Europe and lots of other countries. We don't know how it affects people. We know it's not healthy for the cow though." (Find resources for getting your campus to make the switch here.)

We've discussed on the blog before about how dairy producers and retailers are responding to consumer demand. Unfortunately, five years after the worlds largest coffee retailer started "discussing" the issue, still no action.
