:28:11
Furthermore industry
has known about this
:28:15
at least most industries
have known about this
:28:17
and have attempted
to trivialize these risks.
:28:26
If I take a gun and shoot
you thats criminal.
:28:29
If I expose you
to some chemicals
:28:31
which knowingly are
going to kill you
:28:34
what difference is there?
:28:36
The difference is that it
takes longer to kill you.

We are now in the midst
of a major cancer epidemic
:28:44
and I have no doubt
:28:46
and I have documented
the basis for this
:28:49
that industry is
largely responsible
:28:53

:28:57
in which one in every two men
get cancer in their lifetimes

and one in every three
women get cancer.

whod been given RBGH.
:29:43
BST trade name Posilac is
being used in more than
:29:46
a quarter of the dairy herds
in the United States
:29:48
according to Monsanto.
:29:50
The milk is being drunk
by a large portion
:29:52
of the American population
:29:54
since the food and drug
administration declared it safe
:29:56
for both cows and humans...
:29:58
And at that the
Monsanto was saying
