@Tommasino: if American pasta can't be called pasta because we put too much sauce on it, then our pizza can't be called pizza, either. Our pizza in no way looks like what is served in Italy. Much different than how our pasta compares.

I have to agree that it's a yucky title... And to redfish who said if tastes like tree bark eat as much as you can of it, thats hilarious because it can be soooo true! Fiber isn't always tastey, not that it can't be. It just really takes some personal research of fiberous foods you are willing and wanting to eat. I purchased a diatary book that is geared more toward calorie counters, but shows the compltete stats of many, many foods to find out what I could be eating to increase my fiber intake and just eat healthier in general. And, it really doesn't matter what you're stuffing down your gullet if you're not drinking enought water!

Too bad the reviewer's last name is Colin, not Colon!

no need for a book. just learn to love whole grains, fruits and veggies, and it will all come out well at the end.

I cannot belive that this post made "Today's Specials" on Serious Eats.

Whatta ya tryin' ta do, huh? Drive us all away?

The Irish say - you got a "knot in your puddin". Take a dose of cod liver oil and get on with the BACON !

Quality?

Youve got to be kidding!!! This rag will go out of business because it DESERVES to go out of business. Its no different than any other business. If what you got isn't what the public wants, adios...and good riddance.

It would be a good paper if all I wanted was editorials DISGUISED as reporting.

Thanks for reporting this. Our organic milk consumption as decreased due to allergies to casein, but half of the family still consumes milk & butter. I buy Organic Valley almost exclusively, the Safeway brand (and many others) do not have the same ethics in my opinion. There are so many loop holes in the system as to what substitutions can be made if organic feed becomes to expensive. Besides I like to support the littler guy.

For our family it is more responsible and better for us to purchase organic. I will continue to do so. My husband always says "you can pay for better food now or the doctor later."

For one summer, when I was a child, I drank milk like most people drink coffee or water. Never drank a glass of the stuff after that. Whenever I would try, my stomach wanted to throw it back up. So I finally quit. Good thing my mother didn't insist. I now drink organic soy 'milk' but only if it's chocolate. Don't know why milk bothers me, since other dairy products don't, just milk.

I feel for any small/family farmers today. They don't stand a chance against 'agrifarms', which are driving out the local guy.

The thing people were looking for with organic milk mainly was that it was drug free. No hormones and no antibiotics. Many believe that the increased amounts in milk over the years has hurt a generation of milk drinkers. Now that bovine growth hormone has been almost disappeared from milk producing cattle people aren't as worried.Look for labels that state hormone free. It is really the best choice in this crappy economy. Buy organic milk if you want to waste money.

When my husband and I "cut back" and figured out what we would and wouldn't give up, organic milk was one of those "keeps". Yes it costs more but we figure the price is worth the taste. Plus we get our milk in bottles which are returnable so now carton waste. We'll give up going out to eat once a week or getting a cheaper brand of something else to keep up our organic milk drinking.

I like the Organic Valley non-fat but I don't like that it only comes in half-gallons. I live 37 miles south of NYC. Does anyone know of a store between here and there where organic milk is sold in quarts?

I won't drink milk if it has any sort of 'smell.' I don't mean the normal smell after it's been open a couple days; I mean any smell. I know, it's strange. I used to buy 2 or 3 of those small containers of regular milk so it would always be fresh. I started buying organic and not only does it taste cleaner, but it last so much longer that it's worth paying a little bit of a premium.
