No difference in quality yet people will pay double for the organic label.

Canada’s organic dairy farmers do some things differently than their conventional colleagues – like sending their cows to pasture and using only chemicals that are considered natural – it’s not reflected in the end product.

“The milks are the same – they are identical with respect to the testing and quality standards. There’s no added hormones. No antibiotics,” says Graham Lloyd, of the Dairy Farmers of Ontario, the quasi-governmental organization that controls the organic and regular milk supply.

Aline Dimitri, the food regulator’s deputy chief of food safety, says, “When it comes to the safety of the product, there is no difference. People may feel that one is safer to consume than the other, but that is not supported by science.”

Adding "Organic" to any food label is just a poor excuse to increase the price to a ridiculous level.

Problem is too many people fall for it.
