I don't mean to sound fru-fru, but in the past couple of months, amid growing grocery bills and tighter wallets, I've started buying organic milk (and occasionally soy milk for me). i did it for all of the common reasons (the alarming presence of antibiotics, growth hormones, etc) but mostly because of the taste/smell of the milk we usually buy. I don't know what it is, but for the past year i've been shoving opened cartons of milk in andy's face, demanding that he agree that it had soured. It smelled... old. and generally gross. and nothing ruins a heaping bowl of Special K Red Berries faster than an undertone of gross.
anyway, i've tried a couple of different brands, depending on where i happen to be shopping, and i've been wondering if it's a sham. you know the feeling... you see "organic" in huge, impossible to miss letters, then notice the price, and then launch into an inner debate over whether whatever you're buying is worth it, then finally trying to arbitrarily guess just how much better it is than the inorganic counterpart. i'm starting with milk and going from there. interestingly enough, i stumbled across a rating scale of all organic dairy sold in the United States. You can find it here:
Organic Milk Survey
Pleased to see: Sunnyside dairy is highly rated.
Feeling duped by: Target's brand, Safeway's Organics
