Great! I've seen articles that say organic vegetables have higher levels of antioxidents possibly because they have to fight disease and pests. I've been buying the milk for years now. People used to think I was crazy. It's good to see how much more readily available it is now. Our local grocery store now carries the gallon size, it's even cheaper than the half gallon at Sam's club.

This is one of the things that I think is a given. No hormones or pesticides. I'm not sure how someone cannot think that would be better for you.

I would buy organic milk but my kids are on WIC and you can't get organic with WIC. I wish I could convince them that it is better but of course the state is going with what is the cheapest.

We switched about a year ago and I am glad we made the change.

We only drink organic milk. It is a bit expensive but it's worth it to us.

I used to refuse to buy organic milk because I thought it was too expensive and couldn't justify how it could be that much better. However, I got lucky to get in on a BzzCampaign to try New Horizons and I saw a difference in my 2-year old son. I really think it has helped him grow. And, I do feel much better about what he's drinking. My husband even said he didn't care what it cost, just keep him on it. So...we have been converted.

I just started buying organic milk. To be honest, I never even noticed it in the grocery store. No one in my family or my husbands uses it. So it was new to me. My hubby said it smelled funny, but I haven't noticed. Tastes the same to me...
