Somewhere in between, but it doesn't really matter how it is cooked. It's bacon. I'll eat it.

Why does organic milk last so long?

Initially, I bought it because it's hormone free & organic - thinking it has to be better for me. I really don't drink much milk, but occasionally have cereal at night, need it for a recipe and like it in my coffee. Add another one who was shocked at the shelf life. I live alone and it gets used up before it turns. How nice!

I found this info while googling this topic...

"According to the American Dietetic Association's Complete Food and Nutrition Guide, "This process of flash heating minimizes loss of nutrients, texture, color and flavor." There is no credible scientific evidence showing a significant nutritional difference between UP and HTST organic milk. In fact, there are no differences in the Nutrition Facts panels for UP and HTST milks."

I always ended up tossing milk, but no more thanks to organic milk.

Wow this has been very informative.

We started buying the organic low fat milk at Costco even though you have to buy 3 cartons at a time. I wasn't sure if we could consume that much milk before it went bad (mostly for coffee, cereal sometimes, and late night milk and cookies), but the use by date was 6 weeks! So we've been using ultra-pasturized low fat organic milk.

Now, are you telling me that it has no nutritional value?

I wonder if that's the reason why I don't get diarrhea from organic milk, but regular milk and even Lactaid gives me diarrhea.

Interesting food...drink...for thought.

I buy organic skim over regular skim because organic skim tastes and looks better than regular skim. I'm not much of a milk drinker, so the longer shelf life is an added bonus.

Actually, there's a lot more to competitive eating than gluttony. There's also greed. Check out this video of competitive eater Erik Denmark engaging in an economics debate while shoveling food into his mouth

@sireatsalot
Actually Burgertime was much more influential as a vehicle of communist propaganda (sort of like the claim about Mario, but this is real). Check it out.

Allan: Just check the link later. I think the link is OK, it's just the site that's down at this time -- must have gotten a lot of linkage and is overloaded.

Are you serious AllenW?

Are you in turn saying that Burgertime was a influential title in regards to the eating practices of young people? There are a slew of videogames out there that related to food, the preparation and consumption of. I don't think that any of them have a strong impact on young people.

At least MLE doesn't involve car-jacking and killing everything in site.
