I'm sure the truth is somewhere in between - I think I'm leery of "USDA-approved" because of all the loopholes - for instance your cattle must be feed natural non-GMO, non-chemically-laded feed, unless of course you think that's too expensive, then you can feed cattle toxic sludge pellets and still market the meat as organic. Also, the SCC read in even organic milk is often quite high. I don't want to drink baked pus, which can be 10% of the volume of milk. Yechh.
