    After hearing all the publicity about milk production, in the media, I'm sticking strictly to organic. If it costs more, I'll go without something else.
    Farms are being set up in several countries including the UK, where the thousands of cows never go outside, only eat processed food, and are milked automatically 3 times each day. What a life! So unnatural.
    I want milk from cows which live a normal life!

    the same happens with your organic milk, but the only difference is that organic feed is used.

    Dont believe that organic is going to save the world, the same with free range eggs and the like, the birds are still kept in barns, and they rarely venture out, even though in theory they could.

    Dont believe your visions of chickens scratching out in the field for a worm to eat, all the worms were eaten long ago, they are now left with bare dry mud, if they venture more than a foot away from their bar walls.

    Organic and free range is a con to take in more money from gullible people for next to no different in animal welfare standards.

    Even things like organic fruit and veg, they often have more things sprayed on them, but because the sprays are organically certified its apparently ok.
