Comments on: Jay Severin can’t figure out a milk carton http://severinwatch.com/2009/07/17/jay-severin-cant-figure-out-a-milk-carton/ Keeping an eye (and ear) on Jay Severin Sat, 21 Aug 2010 02:53:01 +0000 hourly 1 By: DavidFromBrighton http://severinwatch.com/2009/07/17/jay-severin-cant-figure-out-a-milk-carton/comment-page-1/#comment-3274 DavidFromBrighton Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:57:49 +0000 http://severinwatch.com/2009/07/17/jay-severin-cant-figure-out-a-milk-carton/#comment-3274 George: Maybe. I understand your reasoning. I guess I was giving the milk company too much credit, thinking that if they had recently stopped using AGH they would have said something like "Now artificial growth hormone free!" Of course, Jay also mentioned during his commentary that he generally doesn't read milk cartons, so it's possible that this brand has always been hormone-free but just recently announced it in a more eye-catching way. Either way, I'll concede this round. It won't be hard for me to find better examples of Severin's poor reasoning. George: Maybe. I understand your reasoning.

As an organic eater, my family has done extensive research into the use of artificial growth hormones in most animal based products, and, whether you like his logic or not, he is 100% correct. Most companies have used it for years, and those that don't have stated so for years, so their putting it on the carton now says that they are no longer using it. Using logic, if they never had artificial growth hormones in their product, wouldn't you rather put that than the fact that this one container does not have any in it? I agree with his logic.

I assume you are a new reader because you don't seem to understand that my criticism of Jay Severin is not as an entertainer but as an influencer of public opinion. I use the milk carton example only to show that this guy has a weak grasp of logic and reasoning, and to suggest that his conclusions about public policy are equally invalid. 82Jetta, welcome to SeverinWatch.

Knowing Jay's age that would be a bit much hyperbole for him to say that. Must you comment on everything no matter how unimportant a statement may be? It would be quite interesting to know your public life (other than your obsession with Jay) so that others would have the opportunity to comment on everything you have to say. Talk show hosts are such easy targets. Any talk show that was purely fact and no entertainment value would last about a week. rBHG has been in use for 20 years and antibiotics even longer.
