Demand Declining for Organic Milk

This is not good news.  Reports from Vermont are that demand is declining for organic milk, considerably down from three years ago. Considering that milk contains high concentrations of whatever the cow eats (whether healthy stuff, or unhealthy pesticides) many people recommend that if nothing else you switch to organic milk.  Organic is also a better indicator that the cows were treated well. Cows not raised under organic standards frequently are given antibiotics to keep their udders healthy because they aren’t kept in the cleanest or most human conditions; organically raised cows (and their milk) are antibiotic free.  Reverse the trend and buy organic milk – it’s what we just called “milk” 60 years ago.
