Costco sells big boxes of it

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

It happens she likes it better too so we'll go this way for the times away from home.

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.

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

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:

You have to scroll down a page to see the section on Hormones in Milk.

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.

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.

Why would you want skim milk or lowfat milk?

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.

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

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.
