The Corporation

:30:00

There’s no
evidence whatsoever

:30:01

of any adverse affects

:30:03

We don’t use antibiotics.

:30:05

And this clearly showed
that they had lied

:30:08

through their teeth.

:30:16

The files described areas
of chronic inflammation

:30:19

in the heart lungs
kidneys spleen

:30:20

also reproductive effects

:30:23

also a whole series
of other problems.

:30:28

...the most comprehensive
independent assessment of the drug

:30:30

"concludes that bust
results in un necessary pain

:30:34

suffering and
distress for the cows.

:30:36

This is not acceptable
for a drug designed simply

:30:39

to increase milk production...

:30:42

It is a silly product.

:30:44

We have the industrial
world is a wash in milk.

:30:47

We're over producing milk.

:30:49

We actually have governments
around the world

:30:51

who pay farmers not
to produce milk.

:30:53

So the first product
Monsanto comes up with

:30:56

is a product that produces
more of what we don’t need.

:30:59

Of course you’ll want to inject
Posilac in every eligible cow

:31:03

as each cow is not treated
is a lost income opportunity.

:31:07

But the problem was

:31:08

that use of
the artificial hormone

:31:11

caused all sorts of
problems for the cows.

:31:14

It caused something
called mastitis

:31:15

which is a very painful
infection of the udders.

:31:20

When you milk the cow

:31:22

if the cow
has bad mastitis

:31:23

some of the

:31:24

and I don’t know how to
say this in a you know

:31:25

I hope people aren’t
watching at dinnertime

:31:28

but the pus from the
infection of the udders

:31:30

ends up in the milk.

:31:32

And the somatic cell
count they call it

:31:34

the bacteria count

:31:35

inside your
milk goes up.

:31:38

There’s accost to the cows.

:31:41

The cows get sicker when
they’re injected with RBGH.

:31:44

They’re injected
with antibiotics.

:31:47

We know that people are
consuming antibiotics

:31:51

through their food

:31:52

and we know that
that’s contributing

:31:54

to antibiotic resistant
bacteria and diseases.

:31:57

And we know we're at a
crisis when somebody can go

:31:59

into a hospital and
get a staff infection
