Have a Dairy Good Day

[#1]

I was talking to my sister Maura the other day and she mentioned she stopped drinking milk because she was trying to lose weight. What?!  Unfortunately, it’s a mistake a lot of women make. Dairy products are full of vitamins and minerals critical to good bone health, and all for relatively few calories when you choose non-fat or low-fat varieties. An 8 ounce glass of nonfat milk has 90 calories–not much when you consider all the benefits you get for those calories. Just like kids, adults need calcium, vitamin D and phosphorus for strong bones. Only instead of building bone–if you’re older than age 30–you need these nutrients to help slow bone loss that goes hand-in-hand with getting older. Bone loss can lead to osteoporosis, a disease where bones are prone to breakage.  Along with exercise, getting three servings of dairy foods a day is one important way to help strengthen bones. It’s easier than you think to get your “3 a day” and still keep calories manageable. Pour a cup of nonfat milk over cereal (and drink what’s left in the bowl), add an ounce of reduced fat Swiss cheese to a sandwich and have a cup of low-fat yogurt for a snack. I convinced Maura to keep the milk and instead, cut back on the portion sizes of other foods in her diet to trim calories. How are you doing on dairy each day?

I am interested in buying your O Organics milk but want to know more about the milk, the cows that produce it, etc.  Also, does someone else process it for you?

I have searched this website & the internet and found nothing about the milk.  I've read the carton and it is very vauge which makes me cautious.

Also, are the dairies local and are the cows pasture cows and not feed lots cows?

Please let me know more about this product so I can make an informed decision.

Thanks!
