The leading website on organic milk is MealsMatter. They are exclusively funded by the meat and dairy council which has the sole goal to increase dairy and meat consumption at any cost to health and the environment. Sample “healthy” foods on their list are: Canadian bacon, cheese, and conventional milk. They claim organic milk is no safer or better than conventional milk.
MSNBC also makes claims about Organic Milk. Their goal is to convince you than regular milk and organic are pretty much the same. The research for their article comes entirely from the Food Research Institute in Wisconsin which gets 1 millions dollars a year in “unrestricted gifts” from the food industry. You can imagine the kind of pressure milk researchers are under to keep up the good news about milk.
Consumer Affairs is the first website to say something honest about Organic Dairy. “[It] comes from cows confined to feed lots eating grain and not grass.”
Organic Milk comes from a Concentrated Animal Feed Operation, and the cows are subject to the same abusive animal practices that all animals are in our food production system. CAFO’s get the cows continuously impregnated so that they don’t stop producing milk. The cows almost never move from their stalls where they are hooked to milk machines their entire lives. The CAFO separates calves from their mothers in 24 hours so the calves don’t compete for milk with the humans. Many of these calves end up confined to veal cages for the rest of the lives. If they aren’t killed immediately.
The sad truth is that none of the easily findable websites will tell you the simple truth that Milk Gives you Cancer.
