Straus Dairy trying to weaken organic standards?

[Elizabeth2008]

I was very distressed to read this article which says that Straus has been lobbying to weaken the pasture requirements for organic dairy. I buy Straus when I can't get raw milk because it's not homogenized. But if this is true, I can't buy their milk anymore. Are there any other non-homogenized organic brands that are widely available? I never see any!

GAH! I looooove my Strauss milk in my glass bottles. Hot diggety. I have no energy for following up on this but what a bummer.

Have you read their position statement on their website? I think they have valid points and I will continue to enjoy their delicious milk.

yes, i did see their statement. It sounded a bit like PR spin to me. The pasture requirements are already pretty lax. I'd hate to see them weakened further.
