Wal-Mart, Kraft, Starbucks, and Kroger have all made moves away from rBGH. But Yoplait? Nope. And that is all freshly relevant as we enter October - Breast Cancer Awareness Month - because rBGH boosts levels of a hormone (IGF-1) that is linked to breast cancer in humans.

So what's Yoplait doing for breast cancer this October? Getting rid of rBGH? Not a chance. They are putting pink lids on their containers and making $.10 donations for breast cancer for each one sent in.

To give 'em a piece of your mind, check out the Think Before You Pink Yoplait Campaign

General Mills, who owns Yoplait, has this insane posting on their website: (4.00 / 1)
Leading by example

At General Mills, we are guided by our values - they are the source of our strength, and the heart of who we are. Those values guide us to be involved in our communities and affect positive change.

Hypocrisy anyone?

Sic Transit Gloria Locavore!

with a nasty comment that $.10 donations don't mean much if you're actually causing cancer in the first place.
