The dietary switches sound good. I wish you all the best as you find a more healthy and eco-friendly diet.

I also usually buy soy milk. I just feel better when consuming less dairy, organic or not. I’ve actually switched over to be a veggie, and moving towards veganism, albeit very very slowly.

Candice, I generally feel like “organic” is pretty reliable (apart from Aurora), though I mostly buy from the organic dairy farmer at my farmer’s market. I know and trust him, and it makes a difference. You’re right about the “free range” label – it sounds good, but it’s hard to know if it really makes a difference. At least at the farmer’s market, it’s easier to get verification.

Check that Organic Label: You may be drinking faux organic milk

There’s a bruhaha over Aurora Organic Dairy’s milk. Aurora provides the milk for retailers like Wal-Mart, Costco, Wild Oats,Safeway to sell under their own brand names.Aurora’s also sells its milk under the High Meadow label. According to many bloggers…

I prefer to just buy soy milk. I don’t know if I necessarily trust the “organic” label on that stuff, either, but then, if animals aren’t involved, I’m pretty indifferent. Soy milk is frequently on sale cheaper than regular milk at the store I go to.
I also don’t know what I’m really getting a lot of the time when I read “organic”, “free range”, etc. on meat or eggs, because it’s hard to find specific information about any of the farms. I’m not a vegetarian, but it’s definitely led me to cut back significantly on the amount of meat I eat.
