| I was buying Earth's Best at Whole Foods for awhile, but now I can't find them on the shelves. Most stores seem to carry lots of options for 1% or flavored milk, but I need 2%. Can anyone tell me where they shop for organic unflavored 2% boxed milk, the kind you don't need to refrigerate? I suppose not-organic would do to, but not my first choice. TIA. |

| Whole Foods, Wegman's, and Giant have Horizon and/or Organic Valley 2% milk. Target has Horizon milk as well. |

| Sorry, this is not really an answer to your question, but I can't imagine why anyone would feel they had to have that. Why not use regular milk that is less processed? Non refrigerated milk is ultra super pasteurized, and a little bit creepy. |

| On a similar note, where can you find boxed, unflavored skim milk, organic would be great, but non-organic is fine... the kind that doesn't need refrigeration. I've had trouble finding skim at many of the places above, but maybe I've not looked carefully enough. |

| Non-organic milk is treated with RBST bovine growth hormone that should NEVER be given to children. |

My plain old milk from Harris Teeter is marked "no hormones" or similar phrasing. Is that a remarkable thing? Still bad? Genuinely curious. |

OP here. I do use regular milk. This is for when we go out occasionally and regular refrigerated milk would go bad. Sorry if I wasn't specific enough, but I'm looking for the boxes of 8oz or smaller for kids, not the half-gallons I typically see at stores. Thanks. |

OP here. I don't actually WANT reduced fat milk, but it is impossible to find the 8oz boxes of whole milk. If you know of a place that sells organic unflavored kid-sized boxes of unrefrigerated whole milk, that would be ideal. |

| PP who posted wanting skim milk not that it's any of your business as to why I want skim milk, but here it is - my 12 year old DD can not get milk/lunch at school and the ped has suggested skim milk . It happens she likes it better too so we'll go this way for the times away from home. |

About hormones in milk, its not so much the RBST or whatever that added hormone is, but a systemic change in the way all dairy cows (organic and non-organic) on large farms are milked: http://books.google.com/books?id=iAviyM4-rAEC&pg=PA112&lpg=PA112&dq=%22the+fertility+diet%22+and+%22hormones+in+milk%22&source=bl&ots=RX12htQdet&sig=YBCdSTxNBCL9Ox1LHjDA52dwpWY&hl=en&ei=o8KPTtf4HJPF0AHGlYkR&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CB0Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false You have to scroll down a page to see the section on Hormones in Milk. |

Sorry, PP, I'm genuinely curious about this issue. Seems like everything I read lately is about how low fat foods (and diary specifically) is no longer in favor. |

| Seems like the thread has been hijacked already - but as mentioned you can find the 8oz types at Whole Foods, Wegman's, Giant, and even Target. |

No kidding! Seemed like such an innocuous question... |
