Center for Global Food Issues Launches Milk is Milk Blog
CGFI Director of Research and Education Alex Avery to offer commentary and analysis on issues impacting the Dairy Industry.
Churchville, VA (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) January 7, 2005 -- The Center for Global Food Issues (CGFI) has
launched an Internet Blog as part of its Milk is Milk consumer education Web
site http://www.milkismilk.com. CGFI Research and Education
Director Alex Avery will provide regular commentary and analysis on issues
important to dairy producers and consumers. Avery’s inaugural post addresses
claims and complaints from former journalists-turned-activists Steve Akre and
Jane Wilson. The fired Fox journalists are back in the news as they attempt to
have the FCC revoke a local Tampa TV station’s license after losing a court case
in which the couple claimed they were treated unfairly by the
station.
Akre and Wilson first gained notoriety in 1997 while working for
WTVT Fox 13 in Tampa. The couple assembled a controversial report which included
allegations regarding the safety of milk linked to the use of productivity
supplements by dairy farmers. Avery explores the side of their story they
haven’t told. For full details and commentary, visit http://www.milkismilk.com/blog.htm.
