After an outcry from consumers…
- Pennsylvania backs down from its decision to ban labels on milk cartons that say the cows were not treated with recombinant bovine growth hormone.
- A European ethics panel says cloned animals should not be allowed on the market.
- McDonald’s backs down from its “food prize” program (Happy Meals for good grades) in Florida.
All that in just one day. Signs of a social movement anyone?
