Do you choose “organic” produce because it’s healthier and locally grown?

Think again.

A new report on how the U.S. Department of Agriculture actually markets the organic label without any standard of certification, doesn’t do any field-testing and, through its bureaucracy grew exponentially during the Obama administration, is driving up imports from China, Turkey and other countries with disastrous safety records.

A cow only gives colostrum for a few days after she gives birth to a calf. Unless they have cows giving birth every week they are technically telling you the truth but selling you pure hokum.

No commercially available produce is perfectly clean. However, organic has less toxic pesticides than non organic, and for produce withoutnthick peels, organic will do less to take away your health than conventional.

We are overrun with neurological pathologies in epidemic proportions today. KEEP YOUR BODY AWAY FROM AS MANY NEUROTOXINS AS POSSIBLE. Some are in foods, like artificial colors and sweeteners and “natural” flavorings. Very few packaged foods are safe. Some are in your weed and bug killers. Some are in your laundry products or lotions or medicines. Some are the plastics you drink or eat from.

Pesticides are just one source of toxins your health requires you to limit. Your risk (and that of your children, born and not yet conceived) is your own.

No hokum.

They breed all of their cows for that reason. That is standard practice at all raw dairies.

If people want to pay $7 for a gallon of milk and feel smug about it, go for it.
I’ll be paying my $1.69-$1.99 depending on sales.


I pay like $13 a gallon. For fresh, clean, from ONE farm only, RAW milk the way Gd intended. It is live and filled with the bacteria we need as well as the perfect enzymes to digest it. My kids are healthy, big, strong, and smart. These cows have cleaner milk than human women eating a crappy American diet.

And since we switched six years ago, I can’t even digest that pasteurized crap you buy for a buck a gallon.

Agreed! See my previous post. My adopted raw cows milk formula raised baby is healthier than my breast fed ones, and bigger and stronger and she’s pretty smart too. I love my raw milk. No comparison.

No. It is hokum.

They can not have enough cows giving birth every week to produce a significant amount of colostrum.

At best they would only have 5% colostrum and it does not mix very well with regular milk being of a much thicker consistency.

We have lots of “control rods” here to try to steer people away from the greatest health benefit there is: Raw Milk.

Bullshit artists, and nothing more.

I buy regular 1% milk and use a gallon before it goes sour. I do find that the taste varies from good to almost bad depending on the producer.

That’s different than the milk at the grocery store that’s labeled organic though..
We get half of our eggs fresh from the local chickens. The other half from the grocery store. Big difference in taste and color.
