It’s Hold the Hormones Starbucks Call-In Day!

Today’s the day – December 5th, 2006 is the Food & Water Watch-sponsored Hold the Hormones Starbucks Call-In Day!

It will take just a few minutes of your time to let Starbucks know that its decision to use rBGH milk is bad for cows and may be bad for people. By making the call, you let Starbucks know that it’s also bad for business. Starbucks has more than 6,000 stores nation wide and buys a lot of milk! If Starbucks made the switch to rBGH-free milk it would send a strong message to the dairy industry about consumers’ distaste for recombinant bovine growth hormone.

Call Starbucks at:
1 (800) 235-2883
The line should be staffed Monday through Friday, 5 AM to 6 PM (PST)
