Organic milk

I have tried to research the whole Horizon Organic milk thing, so far I haven't found anything...

I do know from a friend who grew up on a dairy that

with all the antibiotics and other drugs they give the cows...
it makes them sick.
as in...
they give the cows runs....
and since large dairys use mechnical equipment to milk the cows,
it doesn't care what is sucks up...
and since all the milk from all the cows goes into the same vat...

The standard practice, since most dairies can't afford to throw out an entire morning's proceeds,
is to add bleach or some other chemical in large enough amounts to kill any of the bacteria,
and to also Hide the, uh... added ingredients, but not in enough amounts to cause an odor or change the taste...

My buddy doesn't drink milk...

this would not happen if
the animals were allowed to roam freely,
they were grass fed, (feed lots at most commercial factories and meet packing lots provide grains, not grass, more about this later),
and thus antibiotics would not required (because of the close quarters and improper feed)
the diarrhea would not happen in the first place

it may be that Horizon's contracted dairys are good to the cows, it may be the milk is adulterated...

anyway...
***
cows are designed to eat grasses, but not grains.
Grasses and grains are hard to digest,
so cows have the four stomaches.
We are designed to eat meat,
thus the shorter intestines,
other wise the meat would begin to rot in our gut.
We have to process grains, cook them, treat them etc. so our stomaches can digest.

On feed lots, cows are fed grains to fatten them up,
this process encourages harmful bacteria,
such as e coli.
Which is becoming stronger
due to the antibiotics,

Spinach any one???
