Almond milk...... Made the switch, you should too.

The "switch"?

One is pureed almond water. It has absolutely nothing in common with milk, which comes from the mammary glands of dairy cows.

I can't believe they are allowed to call it milk. It is not milk in any way, shape, or form. It makes no sense to "switch", you might as well say you switched from milk to cranberry juice.


But congrats on falling for their marketing.

It doesn't matter what brand you buy. Completely false. For butterfat content this is true, but sanitation practices within the plant make a huge difference on shelf life. Second, your statement about mastitis is also wrong. Cows with mastitis are flagged and the milk is dumped or fed to calves.



Hmmm, so if all the mastitis milk is dumped, where is the "pus" coming from? and how do you tell if a cow has mastitis anyway? Are you saying a good plant can reverse bad farm practices? That milk just from Jerseys I keep seeing, has the same fat content as the other stuff? Wow......

Ummm something like 80% of Kleinpeter milk is shipped in from Wisconsin.


So what percent of other brands is shipped in? Far as I know its just the dairyfresh and kleinpeter processors in LA. It sounds like the south is a net importer of dairy products. I'll bet its really difficult to make high quality milk in the south.

Not the point. Like the poster I was responding to, Kleinpeter has fooled locals into thinking their milk is locally produced,when almost al of it is imported from far out of this state. No wonder it 's going bad so quick..

It burned down a while back and Klienpeter agreed to take over production for it. Far as I know they still are. Maybe that explains it too.

Brown's has been awful for a while now. Get some Kleinpeter or Bordens and call it a day

My Rouses brand milk has been fine lately, but I only buy half gallons and they last a week or so in our house before we polish one off.

Where does Bordens get their milk from? The plant is right down the road from me.

Not true. At most, about 20% of Kleinpeter is shipped in from out of state.

All milk contains non-milk solids, mostly leukocytes, that are filtered out before pasteurization. It's a natural part of milk. Mastitis milk is dumped because it contains the antibiotics used to treat the mastitis. Treated milk will never be fed to calves.

Kleinpeter ships in about 20% of its milk supply, depending on the time of year. In colder months, when cows produce more, demand for out-of-state milk is somewhere between 0-10%. In the summer heat, cows will "burn" milk (like people sweat), and more milk has to be shipped in from out-of-state, but it never gets higher than about 20%.

The other 80% comes from Kleinpeter's farm and about 30 other local dairies in Louisiana.
