It is time for the misinformation to stop, and it is time for industrial food operations to 'come clean' from start to finish rather than relying on processing to sterilize natural foods that should be clean in the first place. All of us need to learn that we can't have good quality food at factory/industrial prices, it just doesn't work. We need milk from cows that live cow lives, which includes grass and sunshine and exercise, not concrete, fluorescent lights and grains or pellets. There are new(old) low-tech methods of grazing food animals that maximize grazing productivity while improving the soil and avoiding manure lagoons, e. coli and antibiotic use. We need to question the necessity of industrial drug fed animals and find a better way. There is a better way, thank you for this post as a start in the right direction. Michael Pollan can tell you about the right ideas in "The Omnivore's Dilemma". Check it out. Thanks for putting out the good word.
