Milk direct from a healthy, organically raised cow who's been eating tasty
grass is fine. But that's not cost-effective for the dairy industry, so
cows are fed hormones to increase milk production, and fed antibiotics to
combat the infections they pick up from over-milking, and from living in
crowded conditions. And the food that cows are given is generally a long
way from being pesticide-free organic grass. All this filters into the
milk you drink.
