Reached in and got the wrong milk the other night.
Organic.
( sure not using that in my pies for Thanksgiving )
Hope the pig likes it because we sure don't.
Told DH bring home 2 gallons of good stuff.

I can't tell the difference in taste when it comes to Organic Milk. Other than the cost of it, I would prefer to buy the organic milk. More natural, less pesticides, etc. Plus one of my DS has a behavioral disability, so I try to buy organic as much as possible because of less chemicals.

Think I'll just start getting raw milk from my BIL
( straight from the cow is best )

We like the organic better but the cost keeps us from buying it on a regular basis.

I think regular milk from different stores tastes differently. So I'm sure organic would taste differently too.

Almond milk and Rice milk. Yum.

We buy organic milk and the almond milk. Love both. The thought of regular milk is very unpleasant all the junk that is in it.
Meat and chicken too. We are trying to cut wayyyy back on the consumption of meat though.

I have started buying organic milk again. I have always been able to taste the difference in milk brands. Thanks for mentioning rice milk. I forgot I had some. Yea, it is chocolate chia rice milk.

I so agree. And animals not abused in the process. Although I guess all agriculture does have some effect.

If people are buying organic because they think the animals are treated better, it's basically a myth.

i think milk tastes differently across brands. so it was probably not the fact that it was organic that made it taste bad. no one in my house actually drinks milk we just use it in cereal and cooking. our personal choice is organic, when we are strapped for cash the regular milk at trader joes is hormone and pesticide free. i also really like almond milk.

my sons fav dairy drink is organic keifer which is a fermented yogurt drink ... sounds bad tastes delicious and is full of probiotics.

and use the cream that we skim from it to make butter (15 minutes in the food processor) and the buttermilk for pancakes, bisquits...mmmm

I bought organic milk by accident once, and harped to my boyfriend for 20 minutes about how delicious and creamy it tasted compared to our usual. Then I realized it was because I bought organic homogenized milk, when we're used to drinking 1%. Oops!
The organic milk bags were the same color as the 1% bags I usually buy, so I didn't even think twice when I grabbed it from the fridge at the store. When I looked over the bill though I almost choked. It was $9.00 for the 4 litre bag of milk, roughly the same size as a gallon jug.
