[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I buy organic milk, but mostly because it lasts much longer[/b].  We don't drink much milk, but of course need it in the fridge.  It does taste better, I concede.  Eggs I buy cage free.  Don't eat much meat at all.

I will buy organic fruit and veg if the price is good (like if WF is having a sale on certain item).  Otherwise, I just buy conventional.  But I do buy most of my produce at WF or through Relay Foods, because fruit and veg from those places actually taste like they are supposed to.  I've read too many articles about studies that prove the diff between organic and conventional is negligible. [/quote]

A lot of organic milk is ultra pasteurized (not all of it is), which is why the shelf life is so much longer.  But once it's opened, it only lasts as long as any other milk, about 5 days.  Since regular and ultra pasteurized milk are both pasteurized, they will last longer but taste a bit off, but won't make you sick.  Since some people say that the very high heat of ultra pasteurization is bad for the milk, I buy the regular HTST organic milk.  Also, I think the UHT milk tastes a bit too sweet (it has been partially carmelized by the high heat).
