Milk, it's what's for dessert

So I'm restarting this blogging regularly thing after two years of silence. I'm having an issue with concentration. It could be all the Rock Band and swearing from the other room, or the fact that I already had cake today and I'm determined NOT to stuff my face with more but really, I want cake. Going halfway is a glass of milk.
Horizon Organic milk has been my dairy of choice for about two years now. It was when I made the organic jump in my health-o-meter to eat better. I'm not some crazy hippy promoting organic milk, I'm just your average consumer promoting organic milk. Consumers have all the power in the market. If enough people buy organic then the change will happen. It's not a remarkable thought, it's just how it works. The sooner it happens the better too, cause organic is expensive, and I don't like an America where healthy equals broke.
What is organic anyway? It's what everybody was eating before farmers were given chemicals less than 100 years ago. So really, we could stop calling it organic and just call it food. Everything made with chemicals or pesticides would put what additives are included on the packaging. Imagine an MSDS for your milk, vegetables, meat, etc. Amazing right?
Maybe I am a bit of a hippy...
