Buy from local farms and co ops as much as possible.

By Fairlife it's better!

I also noticed the "made in China" on the package of "organic spinach".
Why????? I can grow spinach in my backyard. It survives the cold weather so it shouldn't be a problem growing it anywhere in this country. Too bad that I don't have enough room or time to grow tons of it.
Very disappointed in Nature's Promise brand.

I watched 'cowspiracy' and '101 reasons to go vegan' and now i do not want to drink cow milk anymore.
(I already stopped eating meat decades ago)

We originally started buying Fairlife for the extra protein (we have one child who doesn't always eat his protein). But we've found that it tastes better and lasts longer than other milks. It's not organic, but it is hormone free and generally healthier. It definitely tastes better than most of the organic milks out there (which I think taste horrible).

Nature's Promise Organic is the best that i've tried

I don't know what the Method issue is, but hard-core organic folks say Horizon (and other big dairy companies) is not a pure organic set-up. They meet the FDA requirements for organic, but nothing else.

Oh, wow. News to me. What's the best organic milk out there?

I think nature's promise milk is delicious! I've tried the 1%, 2% and the whole. I've had numerous cartons and have never encountered any bad smell or taste, quite the contrary--it's excellent. You might want to give it another try.

My 8-year-old was complaining that he stopped liking the store brand milk I was buying so I bought a half-gallon of Nature's Promise milk for him. (I can't drink milk at all but it never smells bad when I pour it.) The first day, he loved the NP milk. The second day he said it had a slightly weird aftertaste but it was still okay. The third day I thought I imagined a weird smell when I poured it for him. He took one sip and declared it was awful. I stuck my nose in the carton and it smelled like sh!t. It didn't even smell like rotten milk. It literally smelled like sh!t. Organic milk is ultra-pasteurized to give it a long shelf life so I don't understand why it went bad in 3 days. The date on it was April 4. Anyway, he's back on the store brand milk and if he stops drinking that, he can switch to water or my almond milk (which is Nature's Promise and tastes pretty good).

This thread is nearly SEVEN YEARS OLD. I think this is a record.

But if one can find a local farm that has grass-fed cows, there is no danger. I was disappointed to find corn syrup in Nature's Promise chicken noodle soup. It is always good to read the ingredients list, no matter what the brand or the claim.

Dairy farmers don't even feed their calves raw milk, so no, it is not what is best.

How does being fed grass keep bacteria out of the milk?

Raw milk IS dangerous.

I buy Nature's Promise organic chicken. I feel better about it than buying the other brands or non-organic. I have no doubt that things go on we are not told about. I grow and can/freeze as much as I can. Beyond that, I just do the best I can.

I do buy it, but you have to look at the label closely to see if it's actually organic or whatever else you're hoping it is. SOME stuff with the NP label is organic, but some is not.

Costco's organic milk was found to not even be organic. They were sued and we got 30 bucks, big whoop.
What is a big thing is that I lost respect for them and realized their food is just a giant factory farmed mess.
Like a huge Walmart. I don't buy any more meat, dairy or eggs from them.
their meat is from the horrendous foster farms - I don't care if they rename foster farms or call it organic
Anyway point being I wouldn't trust giant either - they probably just haven't been sued yet.
Unless someone finds to the contrary.

What about Mrs Meyers? Do people think that's okay?
