I am going to edit the post now, because I forgot to mention that none of the local milk is organic, and people should be aware of that. Did you see my post on sugar? We have such tough choices to make!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10209988866871726126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694051007112666952.post-10603147341715098662012-08-05T20:48:39.889-07:002012-08-05T20:48:39.889-07:00Mahalo Lori for sharing this information with me a...Mahalo Lori for sharing this information with me and my readers. I agree that radiation is a concern. It concerns me that in order to consume safe, organic milk, or as you said, almond milk, we must import these products. As you know, this increases our dependence on oil as well continuing to hurt the aina. We do have to make these tough choices so thank you for sharing more info so that we can all be informed to make those choices.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10209988866871726126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694051007112666952.post-73289279235376210132012-08-05T20:43:33.905-07:002012-08-05T20:43:33.905-07:00Mahalo!

I agree that the milk i.e. Meadow Gold, etc is locally sourced but its not a good thing when radioactive testing showed that Meadow Gold milk is 600 times higher than normal radiation levels. This was reported in the front page of the Herald Tribune not long ago in response to the Japanese nuclear disaster. Much of the Japanese fallout from the radiation has settled on our ag land/pastures and the irrefutable evidence is in the radiation testing which yielded these staggering results. Now, as the principal of my kids' public school pointed out, even at 600 times more than normal levels, the levels are still considered within the 'safe range," as stated by our governor. The pprincipal told me this when I signaled alarm at the fact that all public school here in Hawaii serve Meadow Gold, the exact milk that was tested in the newspaper story. The schools continue to serve this milk to all our keiki every day and there is no opt out except telling your keiki to set the milk back in the ice after they go through the line and are handed the milk. The thing is many of us wonder how the government knows what the 'safe range' of radiation is? Also, the concentrations the government is citing are based on a single time exterior exposure rather than material that you are ingesting on a daily basis. If you want to err on the side of caution, I recommend drinking almond milk or some other type of milk for this reason. do your own research and then draw your conclusions but I think this is serious enough to warrant your consideration.Lori Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512045901498522716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694051007112666952.post-19548680297290254352012-08-05T12:45:42.204-07:002012-08-05T12:45:42.204-07:00Gwen,

A product of Monsanto, bovine growth hormone causes numerous health issues for the cow, infected udders for one, while increasing milk production. Who knows what health issues it might cause for humans? I am tired of being a Monsanto experiment. Don't drink milk from cows injected with Monsanto products. Sorry about the continuing Monsanto rants, someone has to say something though.Kona Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02319326908804720368noreply@blogger.com
