PRIORITY:


this isnt the first time Ive heard someone want to give a baby goats milk.
The first time I heard it was from my sister-in-law, who is in to organic
foods, Montessori and much suspicion of agribusiness etc (maybe she knows
businesses too well) .  Her rationale was that "It was the closest milk to
human milk"  Asthis was long after she had weaned, there wasn't much I could
say about it except to point out that it was still WAY OFF and it was lucky
she didn't need to give much of it to her kids (ouch--children!)

Too bad Earths Best or somebody doesn't make an "organic" ABM--though frankly
I think it would be impossible--no, if they can call vitamin supplements
organic, i am sure theres a way to make "organic" ABM--but it would be
nomenclature since by the time you extract, purify, concentrate, balance etc
its pretty hi tech/less than "natural"  Technically gasoline is organic--good
old organic chemistry--you have to watch those definitions pretty
carefully...
