Please include a link to a non-wingnut website that proves this statement.

Toad, I'll try to find that in writing for you later. Here's how I found out: While I was living in Phoenix my then-husband was selling copiers. He sold one to a dairy and we drove out there one afternoon to deliver it. While I was waiting for the copier to be installed, I overheard a conversation in that office that some agency was investigating them for not having some measurement required in their milk. I don't remember all the details because that was 20 years ago, but the next morning there was a story about it in the Arizona Republic, and it gave the percentages of "ADDITIVES" which are allowed to be present in pasteurized milk. That's right, additives introduced to the milk outside the cow. The article actually said that white coloring may be added by the producer up to a certain percent of volume (and I don't remember the figures).

As for your "bullshit meter", yep, they find bullshit in the milk occasionally too, as well as in your hamburger, tomatoes, and other delicacies. Isn't that why we need a Federal Government? To inspect and document everything carefully and professionally and never make mistakes so that we are all safe to consume anything in our food supply?????
