Don't blame the cows BOYCOTT ICE CREAM

12/01/08 Milk and dairy product prices keep going up. Federal and State agriculture authorities say it is OK to charge $4.37 per gallon. The reasons they give don't make sense. The truth is they (Government) do what the dairy lobbies tell them to do and they get money to do as they are told.

Milk and dairy producers and distributors and their lobbyists work together to raise prices and shrink product sizes. A one-half gallon of ice cream (64 oz.) is now 48-56 oz. A cup of yogurt was 8 oz. It is now 6 oz.

Milk is probably good for young children. This is not necessarily true for adults. There are much better sources of vitamin D and other nutrients. Milk contains cholesterol producing fats, unknown hormones and other contaminents. According to the NIH (National Institue of Health), millions of Americans suffer from "lactose intolerance". Taking milk or other dairy products can be harmful. Milk can make you sick.

According to PCA (Price Consultants America) and the PCI (Pricing Consultants Institute) the near term price goal (Dairy Institute, Milk Producers, Mlk lobby, etc.) for 1 gallon of milk is $5.00, $1.00 for a 6 oz. yogurt, $7.50 for a 48 oz. container of ice cream and $3.25 for a 6 oz. cup of cottage cheese.

Question: Why do they raise prices? Answer: They want more money. They believe the consumer is not very smart. So, they raise prices and unit sizes. They make more money. We get less. What can we do?
Boycott ice cream. There is good scientific evidence that nobody has ever died from not eating ice cream. There is a lot of evidence that a lot of Americans are fat, obese, pudgy and will benefit by not eating ice cream. There is a lot of evidence that many people (children included) are lactose intolerant and can become very ill and even die from dairy products.

We ask you to stop buying ice cream, starting now, until April 1st, when we will review our boycott.

The Dairy Industry, Politicians, distributors, stores, etc will tell a lot of lies. Don't believe them.

The size of a one-half gallon should be 64 ounces. The price should be no more than $2.50.

Bottom line: Boycott ice cream now! Lose weight. Do something!

(Boycott other milk products if possible. It will help reduce food costs.)
