Talking Obesity fuels growing ‘boy-boob’ problem

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/men/article3964936.ece



Obesity has been blamed for the growing problem of “boy-boobs” – cases of teenage boys with breasts so well developed that surgery is needed to reduce them.

Obesity is only part of the problem. Dairy farmers need to stop injecting their cattle with hormones to increase yield/profit. We take in all the crap that they put into those cows.

Note to self. Stop eating dairy. Maybe Irish or German cheese would be all right.

Then again, I think they have hormone free stuff available.

How long has BGH been on the market? How much milk is BGH tainted? Is there proof positive that BGH caused man boobs?

Should consumers have the choice of buying hormone-free milk for a higher price?

We're already buying hormone-laced milk for a higher price. Why not?! Woohoo!

I like playing with boobs, don't get me wrong. I just prefer they be on somebody else's chest. Shoot, I barely get anything done for piddling around here every day. If I had my own pair of boobs, I'd NEVER get anything done.

They do. At least at my local supermarkets.

I go for RAW milk that I purchase from a local dairy farm. I don't want the hormones, and I want the good stuff that pasteurization inadvertently kills.

Oh yeah ... homogenization isn't really good either.
