And if you subscribe to the slippery-slope school of politics, you have to wonder whether the next rule would be to ban market vendors from using signs that say "Grown without artificial pesticides," since, of course, the USDA (or EPA or somebody) has declared currently marketed pesticides as safe.

I guess they must have buckled under the pressure of the conventional dairy lobbyists who say that there isn't any difference in milk from treated and untreated cows. There may not be a difference in the milk (I'll leave it up to the scientists to debate that one), but I, for one, would certainly prefer to get my milk from cows who haven't been turned into milk machines pumped to the gills with hormones. I'll never forget the site of the champion dairy cows at the Sonoma County state fair with their massive, bulging, roid-rage udders. That is really disappointing.
