Okay for years now things have been marked more and more often natural or organic and i was wondering what on earth it meant? okay so I was walking the baby isle at the local walmart when i noticed a new kind of formula and rice cereal marked organis and natural and i thought to myself what is natural formula what is organic...i know what i supply my daughter is natural and organic straight from the breast to the baby's mouth. so is this 'new'formula really just dehydrated boobie milk or what? wait it said something about with real milk...whose milk...cow milk? i thought they were not allowed to have this till older...i am guessing it is a ply to make people spend more then they have to and feel better about themselves when in reality it is all the samething...a conspiracy i guess.

It means no chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides, etc.) were used to produce the product. Mostly, though, it means that you're going to have to pay more for it.

Not to hop on the ol' soapbox, but cow milk is not something children (or any human) should be drinking. Yes, its high in calcium, but its also high in the acid that your body produces calcium to absorb. Milk can play a large roll in bone degradation. Also, the process by which it is extracted often involves unspeakable cruelty to cows. If that doesn't do it for you, think of this: milk's true purpose is to make a 30-40 pound calf grow into a 500 pound cow in a few months. Mmmm.
I researched all of this, but I'm too tired to post links. Feel free to look into it.
Fresh with no chemicals or add ons. Organic and natural, you'll always hear it, but it is the way to go. If you haven't tried it... organic milk, my favorite is the brand Horizon. It is very fresh... I still get light or 2% because whole is too much for me... but it doesn't leave a film taste in your mouth, like it it coated with something like non-organic milk. Non-organic milk, the kind you normally see in the store, has extra chemicals in it. What I don't understand is, the extra chemicals are supposibly there to make the product last longer, but if you compare the expiration dates on both bottles... organic milk will last 2x as long (like a month or more) whereas regular milk will last a week or two.
