than non organic . I've compared every brand in our store. All of the organic milk tastes better, and for some reason lasts a lot longer, by weeks.
What's really funny is that you obviously think you're so much more scientifically gifted and knowledgeable than anyone else ...so much smarter, so superior.

I'll wager you're going to change a lot of minds by calling people stupid and telling them that they're accomplices in a big corporate scam.
So smart you aren't. Priggish you are.
