We were traipsing around one of the local food marts, the other day, when we ran across organic milk. It’s called ‘Biorganic’ and it’s honest-to-goodness, pure organic milk. We’re not much for milk drinkers but I do love my morning espresso and a good bowl of Basic-4. In Mexico, the milk comes in square-box, liter, packaging, at room temperature. It doesn’t really taste all that much like milk. Marcia immediately remarked how strong the Biorganic milk tasted. That’s what you get when the cows eat real grass.
Up and above the taste debate, to me it’s a very interesting premise to see organic products slowly start to make their way on to grocery store shelves. People love their big brands, here in Mexico, even those brands whose products aren’t particularly healthy. And milk is certainly one of those products. The milk industry has even less restrictions then in the US with even more power over the food chains. I found Biorganic milk stashed away, next to the cookie aisle of all places, nowhere near the milk aisle. Figures.
