Reply #5: In some cases organic isn't all that great . . . [View All]

. . if the only difference in the factory farming techniques being the substitution of organic feed for non-organic feed, well, it's a little bit better but not really good enough. Some of the organic milks fall into this category. Of course it's better than products from animals given antibiotics and hormones and fed GM crap, but the best is to revert back to the way it was done prior to the factorization of animals. California has one such dairy - Organic Pastures. All the cows are grass fed. They are so into not stressing the cows out that the owners had a mobile milking truck made so that the cows can be milked in the pastures. Since it's a raw product, their standards of cleanliness and safety are far far greater than those of factory dairies. The difference in the taste and feel of the milk in the body is huge. Of course it's more expensive, but it's way worth it. I'd rather have one glass of their milk a day than a quart of factory milk.
