Chasing Value: Harley-Davidson born to be wild but not HOG wild (BloggingStocks)

Apr 9th 2008 12:28AM Frank, you have no idea what you are talking about. My '03 88 cubic inch Harley with fuel injection gets 50 (fifty) miles to the gallon! So much for the gas hog comment! Perhaps more folks should buy one. Help our own economy in two ways!

The Wal-Martization of organics: will they ever be the same? (BloggingStocks)

May 13th 2006 11:54PM Being a dairy farmer for 35 years, I can tell you a few facts.
Organic milk is being touted as being superior to regular milk in many ways (nutrition, healthfulness, safety). To date there is no credible evidence to support these claims.
You should understand that all dairy products are subjected to rigorus and routine testing for any traces of antibiotics,pesticides,bacteria,and more, every day we send a tank of milk.
To say organic milk is better than any other milk is just not true.
Organic milk costs more to produce because the feeds to make it are more expensive, and yields are less.
For the producer this means even though you get more for organic milk, with input costs greater,you make no more money. Perhaps this is why more farmers are not switching to organic!
If you want a product you think might be better, be prepared to pay more,not less for it.
