Organic Frauds

Aurora Farms, a company that supplies Target, Costco, and Wal-Mart, is about to be stripped of their organic certification. Kinda aggravating considering it costs $5 for organic milk or in this case faux organic milk. What can you expect when you buy organic from huge wholesalers? It's probably safest to get organic products from smaller grocery stores or directly from the farms themselves.

American Wholesale Milk - when you think about it, why would anyone want milk that is pasteurized for 30 seconds and then shipped across country in refrigerated containers.
Yah, 30 seconds. Other countries like Japan have ultra flash pasteurization methods that only take 3 seconds. And yes, it tastes that much better.

Perhaps I should shift the blame on the American farmer's and our big brother Government for getting together and formulating their definition of pasteurization.

Leave it to us Americans to ruin a good thing.
