The likelihood of this happening before the expiration date is compounded by the way many grocery stores order huge amounts of milk twice a month, for the discount, and simply keep a bunch of it in the back coolers until it's ready. Sometimes, the back coolers aren't quite cool enough. I have run into this at two different stores, which is why I now go to a hippie store and buy the normal pasteurized milk that goes bad in the proper and normal sour way after ten days. |

Yuck. I really don't like the taste of pasturised and homogenised milk anymore. There are additives in most of them which give the milk an un-natural flavour.
I'll stick with the real thing.

They don't put anything but vitamins A and D in the milk in the US, but the antibiotics and hormones and lack of pasture give the "factory" milk a funny taste that I can't stand. I call it "liquid cancer". The organic stuff is better, but I like milk from pastured cows the best.

i grew up on 2%. my buddy Dan always drank whole. i thought it was like drinking a cup of spit. he thought 2% was like paintbrush water.
by the time we stopped drinking regular milk, I had gone fromr 2% to 1% when i moved in together with jinx.....to skim.....and after the first few times, you adjust....and then the higher fat stuff tastes nasty. I've gone from 4 sugars packets in a 20 oz coffee with cream to 2, to 1, to one splenda, to cream only, to looking forward to the shitty free coffee they serve at work with 2 mini moos in it. sigh

Here's some interesting info (from a slightly biased source, but true none the less) about additives in low fat dairy options.
Real milk (non pasturised or homogenised) products contain no additives. Quote:

I'd drink it like Ali does if I could get it. Straight out of the cow, ala udder. I get regular full cream pasteurised from the supermarket, and always browse through to find the freshest one.
Come on you namby pamby health food worriers. In china they enrich the milk by adding MELAMINE. That's powder used to make PLASTIC. O wait they stopped that ... but only after babies started dieing from it. Meanwhile, in Japan, you can buy "white water", I never dared try it but I think it is about half milk and half water.

Maybe the milk from wal-mart does though... I've never looked at it. I don't know where they get it. Ew! It's very easy to find milk from local cows here due to all the dairy co-ops like Dairygold, but almost impossible to find raw milk here because it's illegal to sell it commercially. |

If you want to buy raw milk here you have to either work something out with a farmer (one who isn't a dairy farmer) or buy stuff called "Cleopatras Bath Milk" which is untreated and not for sale for human consumption, although I don't know anyone who buys it to bath in. It's very expensive though. Over $7 for half a gallon. I'm glad I don't have to buy it.
