Alex Avery is busy Chirp-Chirpin Away!

A busy little bird is he…It’s a war of perception here. What can we make people perceive? There are people out there who are bought and sold to be dedicated agents of misinformation. One of these persons is Alex Avery. Alex Avery is an iconic voice for large milk industry. He is the Director of Research and Education at the Center for Global Food Issues, a project of the Hudson Institute.

He also runs the propaganda outlet…milkismilk.com. Dedicated to ensuring the Dairy AggroIndustry can sell shitty-quality milk to consumers for many years to come.
Via the ‘Simple Truth‘…milkismilk.com is disguised a consumer awareness / health awareness and information blog. It takes a very heroic stance to saving you(the consumer!) from making ‘harmful choices’.

It’s part of a FUD disinformation campaign supporting the recent legistration the CGFI has taken up against Milk Producers that openly tell their consumers they don’t use rBGH on their cows. By openly disclosing this, apparently they’re practicing false and misleading marketing practicing. Obviously Industrialus Milkus en large can’t have people going around and insinuating that their animal practices are anything less then divine. What are they going to do about it? Well, they’re going to FIX the problem of course. The problem is people are starting to have this idea that their storebought milk was produced in a less reasonable fashion. And once these people start to have that perception…well they start looking for their milk in other sources(commonly soy/rice, organic, or non-rBGH advertised milks). Quite a few more(I’m proud of you America) have discovered real raw milk. And the demand for it is blowing out of the water. Just in the last year in Montana, I’ve seen prices in the raw milk underground shoot from less then $3 a gallon to $7 or $10. That’s simply because everybody wants it, and not many are willing to distribute it. And when they do, they do in seceret. You don’t tell people who you get your raw milk from. It’s a big no no. Anyway…here is an excerpt from milkismilk.com.

Did you know that “milk is milk?”
The Center for Global Food Issues (CGFI) is part of a broad-based coalition which has filed state and federal complaints about false and misleading marketing practices in the dairy industry. As a result, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration has announced it will be review claims being made and take action against those engaged in misleading marketing practices. Taking these concerns to the marketplace, CGFI has recently launched a grass roots campaign of concerned consumers, principally mothers, to educate food and dairy retailers (supermarket and grocery chains) regarding false and misleading label and marketing practices.

Why the Dairy Industry?
Milk and dairy products are an essential part of a healthy, well-balanced diet, particularly for children. In addition, family dairy farms are an important part of the American farm economy. Yet, certain misleading marketing practices by some in the dairy industry designed to increase sales of niche products are creating false fears and driving people away from affordable, nutritious dairy products. These marketers publicly admit to specifically targeting women and the children for whom they purchase food with their campaigns. In the process, state and federal regulations and guidelines specifically established to prevent these practices are being ignored.

These practices result in harm to family dairy farm economics; they defraud consumers; and, in some cases they promote production practices which harm the environment. CGFI and a growing coalition of concerned consumers are working with responsible retailers throughout North America to pressure those in the dairy industry engaging in false or misleading dairy marketing to stop.

What is Happening?
Well-published research shows that health and safety fears are a leading factor in driving consumer food purchase choices. This is particularly true for mothers who purchase products they believe to be better for their family’s health and well-being. (At CGFI we understand that single people, non-moms, and many dads also purchase milk!). In the case of milk, labels that claim to be “pesticide-free,” “antibiotic-free” or “hormone-free” are misleading and in most cases simply false. All milk, for example, has hormones (over 25 different hormones are naturally found in milk), whether a cow received supplements to increase milk production or not.

I love the part that says….
“At CGFI we understand that single people, non-moms, and many dads also purchase milk!”
lol! if that isn’t buddy nudging i don’t know what is. This is just fucking ridiculous! Do they actually expect people to believe this trash? They DO. AND worse…it works. It works EXCEEDINGLY well. I suppose at the root of things these must just be Monsanto funds trickling down the line. I wonder how far extends their reach?

Alex Avery. You must be the fool at the end of the chain who gets to plaster his name all over the corporate cumstain. You know if they ever have to become agile, they’re just going to cut you off and shove all the dirt downhill.

We aren’t done yet with you Alex.
