Our local grocery store has a new item.
Sidenote - I hesitate to call the grocery store "local". It's not a locally owned store, but is part of a big regional chain - Giant Eagle if you must know. I call it local in that it is the grocery store we frequent.
Back to the post - So anyway, they have this new item. It's milk. Boy is it tasty! Just kidding! Actually the new item really is milk, but it is milk that comes from cows who haven't been injected with bovine growth hormone. The best part is that it is not relegated to the "health food" section where it would undoubtedly cost many dollars per gallon. They are carrying it right next to the "regular" milk and it only costs about 20 cents more. The true "best part" is the taste - it's delicious!!
I bought a gallon of 2% the other day, to compare with the 2% we usually drink. I didn't expect it to taste any different, and for all I know I might just be having a psychosomatic response to it, but I think it tastes like whole milk. When Ellen went shopping yesterday the store was out of 2%, which is a good thing - it means people are buying it! So she bought a couple of gallons of 1% and a gallon of skim. We haven't tried them yet, but expect them to be tasty, too!
It is good to know that we are giving ourselves, but more importantly our kids, a good, fresh, natural product, and not an excess of chemicals and other man-made items that are detrimental to good health. It's just one step on a long path to rid us of chemical pollutants, but it's a place to start.
