    I know, not exactly groundbreaking info. But, it's a 40 Billion dollar industry.

    - per USDA, the *investigators* can be the companies own hires, not gov't inspectors.

    - auditor found about 90% of its cows were indoors—not grazing on pastures—over the span of his*eight-day visit.

    - the corporation inspectors performed the farm's annual audit well after grazing season, making it impossible to know whether the cows were actually grazing. This is a violation of USDA policy.

    Your 'organic' milk may not actually be organic at all, according to new investigation

    This is getting absolutely bizzare. The word organic now has taken on more definitions than consumers can possibly keep up with.

    So...

    What makes fruits and vegetables organic vs. nonorganic?
    Unless Fabbulous cages his tomatoes...

    How much time does a cow have to spend grazing outside to be considered organic? Or do you just chase them down in a field and try to hand milk them? Can you give them supplemental grain along with the grass?

    Many organic apples get "caged" in a way. They put nets over them to keep the bugs out.

    What's the big deal? Are the advertising organic and free range cows?

    Milk affects you directly. ISIS......no.

    But you're fat and old with probably not much time left so you may as well eat lard on a stick.

    So it's almost closing time. Dude at the bar is running out of options so he hits on an older looking woman at the bar.
    She's receptive to his advances and one thing leads to another and they end up at his place.
    He starts sucking on her ties and gets a mouthful of liquid.
    Guy: aren't you a little old to be lactating???
    Woman: Oh...that's not milk...it's cancer.

    You have an activist with nothing definitive, and even says "may."

    Please, what is the definition of "may?"

    Corporations will comply with the rules and cheaply as they can get away with. It is also targeting one specific manufacturer of milk. , the labeling requirements for "free range" chicken eggs are not like the term implies either. I still buy them and pay the extra cost because the animals are healthier than the crowded bulk settings. Just arm yourself with the facts, rather than believing someone with an agenda.

    Me: ...shut the up and make me some Cinnamon Toast.
