People should stop taking milk from cows, period!

@schwazer210 Most studies suggest organic can feed the world now and 40+ years in the future and benefits poor countries more than conventional or GM. srfood.org/images/stories/pdf/­press_releases/20110308_agroec­ology-report-pr_en.pdf

Couldn't the Massachusetts School of Law dig up a real expert, instead of a pseudo-expert like Koons Garcia? She's not a scientist and she cheapens their reputation.

I do not use and don't believe in growth hormones. My customers have never complained about spraying and Ge produce. But I am in the country not the city I believe that would make a big difference.

[gizmotwadlebutt]

As a farmer I will throw in my hard earned knowledge. I sell all my produce locally. I tried the organic thing. If i would have continued I would have been out of business.

The people would not buy the lower quality produce and the yields were not good. People would comment Why do you want more money for less quality. Now I am not a big fan of pesticides but I have to use them. I use the absolute smallest amount to get by. I use some Ge products and I feel better about that than the pesticide.

haha, nice!~~

if there is alot of evidence please show it to me. i find a big problem with organic food to in the fact that there is enough evidence to suggest that there is only enough organic food to feed 4 billion people in the world. now remembering that unless we get rid of 2 billion people. we cant live off organic food. also you no who else you should be worried about. the billions of people who can't get food and are refusing food because its people like greenpeace by saying its poisonous.

totally, but even local milk can be deceiving. We have Shennendoah milk here in VA, but it is not quality

It's awesome to visit the farm where your food comes from

Milk is one food that is mostly local wherever you live, and will continue to be even more local with rising transporting costs. Check the carton and the plant number.
