I am a vegetarian, meaning I eat plant based products and milk. I heard about how the milk industry mistreat cows and so started using organic dairy products. However I want to know if the cows that are certified to give organic milk, are they allow to die a natural death or are they butchred for meat well before their natural lifespan like most non-organic cows.
So do the companies that sell organic milk, buther cows or allow them to die naturally?
Formula just doesn’t seem to be working for the little guy. We’ve tried all of them. Dairy and soy of all the big brands out there. He spits them all up a ton.
Anybody feed their little one organic cow’s milk? What did you think of it?
I just bought my first half-gallon of organic milk today, and wanted to know the benefits. Thanks!
Thanks, Lisa! I also found out that they believe in compassionate animal care, so they let their cows graze in organic fields, and treat them humanly. Anything else?
I understand that organic milk does not contain synthetic hormones, added antibiotics and are free from chemicals such as pesticides, etc. But how does oraganic milk differ in chemical composition from conventional milk. I have read that organic milk has higher levels of vitamins and omega-3. What I am trying to understand is how can you TEST (in lab) whether milk is organically or conventionally derived? I apppreciate anyones scientific input. Thanks!
When I used to buy regular milk it always had an expiration date with in about 2 weeks of the date I purchased it. Now I buy only organic milk and the milk in my fridge right now doesn’t expire until mid December. I’m not complaining, just curious.
Can anyone tell me why?
My friend told me a disgusting story about cow’s milk, and from that story, she only drinks organic milk. But doesn’t all milk come from a cow, organic or not? On that, doesn’t it all go through sterilization process anyway?
Please help…
Does anyone have any insight or reasoning on this? I went to the store and saw the regular milk expired a wek later, normal, but for some reason organic milk had an expiration date of over a month away! Why is this?
when it comes to organic eggs and milk and cheese and all that other good stuff..are the chickens and cows treated any better? or is it just what they feed them that makes the food organic??
