I don’t understand rBST milk

So this says the farmers don’t treat their cows with rBST. Cool, I don’t know what that is but cool.
Then it says the FDA thing which to me means two things:
1. rBST doesn’t mean the milk is bad in a statistically significant way so why does it matter that they pledged not to use rBST
2. Even though the farmers SAID they don’t, we can’t prove it if they actually don’t
Basically, wtf?

Part of it is just marketing, a way to charge a little more. You have to believe what you want though, without an FDA seal, they could say that they only feed their cows rainbows.

@raysam363 oh they don’t have an FDA seal?

@ShaythePanTransMan From what I see, they merely "pledge" and list a disclaimer from the FDA. If it said "The FDA has guaranteed no hormones" or something like that, it would be legitimate.

@raysam363 Oh, okay. I guess none of the milk I drink guarantees then :/
