Thanks for sharing this info. Too bad the milk story isn’t covered because that one bothers me most and obviously Health Canada among other countries agreed it was wrong to be putting these steroids in the cows. I’m not sure this convinced me that one side is more reasonable than the other but it sheds some light on what’s true vs unfair. I also agree documentaries need to always be taken with a heavy dose of salt, and I do read beyond them after the fact to confirm information though it’s easiest to remember off hand the emotional appeal they tend to drive home.

The milk story is not covered because it is not a milk story, it is an animal welfare story. "Although it was determined that it did not pose a health risk to humans, there were animal health concerns, and therefore it was never approved for sale in Canada."[1] The milk is considered to be safe by Health Canada. Growth hormones, with a few notable exceptions, are banned for all animals in Canada.
