Is milk and organic milk different?

Question

is milk and organic milk different? milk is from cows and organic milk is not dairy????? right???

Answer 1

Organic milk IS dairy. You might be confusing it with soy milk or rice milk, which is also commonly sold in health food stores and which really isn't dairy.

Organic milk simply comes from cows that are fed organically grown hay and grain, are supposed to have regular access to fresh air and pasture (some organic dairies do better than others at meeting this requirement), and are not fed growth hormones or routinely treated with antibiotics.

Of the most widespread brands here in the US, I recommend this one: http://www.organicvalley.coop/

Answer 2

Organic and conventional milk are exactly the same.

They are both dairy.

Organic milk is a scam.

Answer 3

The organic concept is one where no chemicals are given to the food the cow eats or the cow itself.  

I for one will never drink regular american milk again unless it is organic.  I cannot believe all the c**p they give the cows and their feed there, including hormones.  

Milk that is labeled “USDA Organic” must come from cows that have not been treated with bovine growth hormone (BGH) to increase milk production.
