Cattle in industrial dairy farms are typically given rBST, an animal hormone that increases a cow’s milk production. There is concern that such hormones may have unforeseen effects on milik-drinking humans. Why is there much less concern about plant hormones in the plant foods we eat?
Chewing insects mechanically damage plants and lessen the surface area of leaves for photosynthesis. In addition, these insects make plants more vulnerable to pathogen attack. Suggest a reason why.
If milk is defined as a beverage that gives you just as much protein and calcium as cow’smilk, which of these plant milk pictured fit this definition? Why or why not?
