We Won! Thanks to thousands of emails, phone calls, and rallies by consumers like you, on August 24, 2007 Starbucks committed to serving only 100% hormone-free milk in all of its U.S. stores by the end of this year. Now there's a New Year's resolution we can get behind! Read our press release here.
And, call 1-800-235-2883 to thank Starbucks CEO Jim Donald for doing the right thing. Tell him you're looking forward to New Year's Day and a happy, healthy, hormone-free 2008!
Thanks again for being part of this important victory!
I am a passionate aging dairy cow who enjoys tackling corporate greed as well as long walks on the pasture. I have always been an activist but most recently, I've joined forces with Food & Water Watch to challenge the corporate control and abuse of our food and water resources.
First on my list of things to do is to stop Starbucks from using milk produced with growth hormones. Yuck! Did you know that stuff causes serious infections in cows? To combat these infections, antibiotics are pumped into us! Increased use of antibiotics creates antibiotic resistant bacteria which is a serious human health problem! Canada, Australia, Japan, and the European Union have all banned these hormones... Why hasn't the USA?! I'll tell you why. Corporate control! Hrmph! I'm so mad I could moooooooooooooooooow them all over!
Anyways, you're probably wondering, "Why Starbucks?" Well, Starbucks is the #1 specialty coffee retailer in the world with over 10,000 stores worldwide. As the industry leader, it has a huge impact on the marketplace, and markets itself as a socially responsible business. Isn't treating cows humanely and providing customers with milk produced without genetically-engineered hormones socially responsible?!?!
While I am a sturdy bovine, I can't persuade a big corporation by myself. I need your help! Please go here to find out how you can get involved!
Who I'd like to meet:
Activists of all ages and backgrounds! Also, I wouldn't mind meeting Moopheus... a lot! He's so dreamy. *sigh*
P.S. Artificial hormones affect a broad spectrum of people. Therefore, I would like to keep my profile rated G. Please keep this in mind when posting comments. Thank mooooooooooooo!
Hi, NRDC'S ITSYOURNATURE thanks you for your support and involvement. Please check out WWW.ITSYOURNATURE.ORG for more news and videos, and feel free to repost any of our videos so we can help spread the word.
G'day mates, I notice you don't allow html comments. So I'll just say I hope you're well, and if you have the time please check out my latest blog at http://blog.myspace.com/mickjdundee
Thanks so much for your friendship and support. I am a new vegan and look forward to learning more from all of you! I was never much of a meat eater anyway so the transition is NOT a problem. Being completely convicted in my reasons and beliefs to become a vegan just made my choice and change that much easier to make! Thanks so much again for your support!!
Hi, thank you for adding us. As a fairly new project, we're eager to attract as many new friends as possible, so thanks for the ad too :-) U.F.O.

I heard a vicious rumor that SOMEONE has a birthday coming up, and I couldn't think of a single reason to wait for the PARTY to START!
So, I'm popping in to say, "congratulations" on yet another brilliant journey completely ‘round the sun! Which, btw, is a whopping 585 million miles!
Enjoy YOUR day!
