If us Presbyterians ever get our act together (that is with fellow Presbyterians) and then enlist the Baptist, we'd have one heck of a party.
I just found this on the Voddie Baucham website.

Ready or not...
I've been asked a lot of questions lately about the general safety of milk; more specifically if rbST is a food safety issue. My short answer is a qualified 'if the consumer doesn't want to drink milk from cows supplemented with rbST, then that's what they should get'.
However, the point at which technology and food meet is a relatively new area of dispute. This issue of bST is only the tip of an iceberg. Soon we'll be right in the thick of it with cloned animals.
Quite literally our entire modern day food supply has been manipulated since the early 1900s, so it only stands to reason that it would lead to recombinant technology and roundup ready dandelions. I personally have no problem consuming milk from cows supplemented with rbST. It's a hormone injected under the skin which is metabolized and used by the cow. (On a side note, I do take issue with it's near blanket use on any bovine with four legs.) Unfortunately, consumers (and other farmers) are quick to capture the high ground by claiming a specific way of farming as unethical. The only thing about farming that is unethical is the farmer.
There's a whole new wave of technology coming, and I'm not saying all if it's beneficial. I'd just like for someone other than Monsanto to be proactive about food production.

Our fearless leader
Chris Troegner, one of two brothers that started the brewery, led the tour. There must of been 50 people on the first tour. There was another 30 or so waiting for tour number 2. Must be there's not much else to do in Harrisburg.
