Thoughts on Milk?

I have heard a lot about the hormones that are fed and given to animals and then we consume. Does anyone have an opinion on organic milk vs. regular whole milk for kids?

Thanks!

What can I do next?

And now for something completely different...

I find milk to be completely unnecesary. We are not a milk drinking family. I keep milk in the house so we can pour some over cereal occasioanlly. As long as your diet includes other foods with calcium, drinking milk is not necessary. Humans are the only other animals who drink beyond weaning, and who drink another animal's milk.

I just read somewhere that USFDA is the only label you can trust. All of the other free range, organic, whatever else they had on their brands are not what we think it is. Amazing thing about advertising, eh?

We have alot of organic products in our house. My 16 year old seems to think that the milk tastes a little different. My Mother grew up on a farm years ago when everything was organic. I think most people forget that.

We drink organic as well, my son seems to like it better, I dont notice that much of a difference in taste. We like Horizion and the Whole Foods Brand.

Organic is better. You won't have to worry about the chemicals the cow was injected with or fed! Research it through the Google search engine and read up on it. I have to use Rice milk with a vitamin drop every day. My son is now two years old and we have been using rice milk since we were told of his milk and soy allergy. He has other food allergies too. So I have gravitated to Ada's Natural food store for most of his needs. Hope this helped.

Organic milk is the best!!!. That's what we use at home for the hole family. I buy 2% and it taste like whole milk. We are what we eat, go organic!
