Organic Dairy is Real Dairy
Five years after I began this quest, it seems to have worked. However, what I find amusing is the reaction of fellow moms who have yet to jump on the organic dairy bandwagon. Some of the myths I have encountered include: 1.) the milk is less fortified, 2.) is meant for the lactose-intolerant, and 3.) tastes like soy milk. Those who have checked their facts know that none of these are true. Better still, organic milk can be substituted for that gallon jug with the red cap in nearly any recipe.
If you are still skeptical, consider the following dairy-based dishes you may already be making from scratch. Next time, try swapping the milk or cream with its organic equivalent:
- Fettuccine Alfredo
- Mac 'n Cheese
- Clam chowder
- Mashed potatoes
If you're apprehensive to take the plunge while cooking dinner, here's a tip: Ease yourself into it by trying organic milk with your morning cereal. Yes, your kids' cereal too. If you choose to tell them you've made a switch, act excited - for the fresher taste, for the health benefits they will experience, for the cartoonish-looking cow on the carton. Like everything else in child-rearing, it's all in our attitude, right?
Have fun experimenting!

Post a CommentI actually prefer drinking soy milk. But when it comes to making food with milk, I use cow's milk since it taste better. I once tried organic milk and I can't tell the difference when it comes to the one that is organic and non organic milk. I applaud you on writing about this.
We've been giving our daughters nothing but organic milk, since my oldest daughter was born 8 years ago. Today, my daughters are in Kindergarten and 3rd grade, and they are the smallest girls in their class. My husband and I are of average height, and the other kids in their classes tower over them. My friend's daughter started wearing a training bra in 2nd grade. I think all of this has to do with the hormones in today's milk.
The vast majority of people have no idea how great organic milk is! We make homemade yogurt with it -- and it's 10 times better than what you can buy at the store. Regular store-bought yogurt is sour, runny and disgusting *because* it's not whole and not organic. Real unprocessed foods nearly always taste better. The way they get the cheap processed foods to seem so tasty is by adding sugar and chemicals to make up for what they lack, often to fake the taste of real food. Great article!!!
I grew up on a farm with 4 brothers and 2 sisters drinking natural cow's milk that wasn't pasteurized or homogenized. Our milk cow didn't get any hormones or antibiotics; she grazed in the pasture on fresh grass and hay. My family was all quite healthy and enjoyed lots of cream (about 25% of the milk was skimmed off as thick heavy cream) to make our own homemade butter and ice cream. I have no clue where some of the myths about organic milk come from; it has got to be more natural and healthier for you!
