Omega 3 milk

[Guest guest]

I'd ask each company to sent a nurtrition sheet and

compare them. I haven't seen omega-e milk here yet,

but I haven't been looking at milk since Februrary. I

know they feed omega-3 to chickens to get omega-e

enhanced eggs. I guess if the omega-3 came from an

organic source and they added it to organic milk, the

milk could still be called organic. However, you seem

to be saying that the omega-3 milk doesn't claim to be

organic. Why not use the organic milk and get your

omega-e from other sources? Kids usually like walnuts

and such and you can include flax meal in hot cereal,

pancakes, etc. Just a thought. If you wonder about

organic requirments, there's some good info on the net

and other resources. Here's one link:

Hope this helps.
