Farmers begrudgingly refrain from growth hormones


I noticed on the side of a milk carton today that the farmers' pledge to refrain from using artificial growth hormones came with a footnote:

11000 Farmers' Pledge No Artificial Growth Hormones*
*To satisfy our consumers


What is up with that footnote? Apparently if it were up to the farmers, they would have cows that look like Arnold Schwarzenegger with utters. But no, the "consumers" don't want growth hormones so fine then...I guess we'll leave it out.
