A few days ago, I stopped by the local acme to pick up soy creamer which I usually have with my morning coffee. However, there wasn’t any soy creamer and I freaked out (in a minor way). I don’t like to drink coffee with regular soy milk because the coffee has these weird clumping effect with soy milk. So the only other options were regular creamer (which could come from CAFO cows), Horizon (who feed their CAFO cows with organic grain) and a creamer from Organic Valley.
I had never heard of Organic Valley and their ingredient list didn’t contain corn syrup, which was a plus. But I didn’t know how their cows were treated. On one side of the container there was a short message stating (paraphrased) that they treat their animals like family. As I picked it up and walked to the checkout line, I kept hoping that the didn’t put their family in an extremely confined space and feed them grain and injected them with hormones and then killed them. I kept hoping that the company let their family roam freely on grassy pastures.
