 "Wal-Mart began working with mega-food giant Dean Foods's Horizon Organic, the country's largest organic dairy marketer, which was willing to meet Wal-Mart's pricing. Horizon produced about 20 percent of its milk from a fairly large four thousand-cow organic dairy in Paul, Idaho, as well as some 305 family farms. Although the Paul, Idaho, farm was small in comparison with other super factory dairy farms, it was still large, and its animal husbandry practices appeared to blur the line between factory farms and ideally humane organic farms—at least according to its critics."- David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "Horizon Today, a supermarket leader and owned by dean foods, the Horizon brand includes milk, juices, yogurt, cheese, butter, sour cream, half and half and whipping cream, cream cheese, cottage cheese, smoothies, eggs, infant formula with iron, and eggnog. Horizon Organic joined with Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2006 in a show of support for New York farmers, announcing an initiative dedicated to helping more state farmers transition to organic, and processing more milk locally, to meet the ever-increasing demand for organic milk in New York and the region." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) |
