   If you're drinking coffee from Starbucks......in the first place, it's already obvious that you don't care much about the environment, or animals, or where the coffee comes from. So no wonder many people don't order organic milk.

   Go Soy!If you want to avoid BGH, order soy milk! I'm not a vegan, but I love the stuff, even if it comes at a higher price. BTW, I don't understand the vitriol directed toward Starbucks in the above comment - it's completely unsubstantiated! At least Starbucks offers recycling for multiple types of materials and gives big bucks to the Democratic Party.

   lakatosc...I don't live in the United States, I live in a developing country largely dependent (though not as much as it used to be) on coffee exporting. Therefore, allow me to assure you that my 'vitriol' is not completely unsubstantiated, as I base it on the conditions of coffee-growers rather than the support Starbucks may or may not give to the Democratic Party.

   One of the FewI guess I was one of the few who always ordered the organic milk in my chai - and found stores that didn't have it in stock. Disappointing that Starbucks didn't just decide to go all out and go organic for all their milk. But going rBGH free is a good step - I hope others follow them.
   Maybe it was the $.50 for 2 tbsp of milk that made most people not choose the organic option. It was a bit steep.

   Coffee BluesAs steeply priced Starbuck's coffee is, it seems as if their customers should receive milk from cows that haven't been fed pesticides...FOR FREE!  Maybe they should just order smaller quantities of organic milk.

   unfortunate, not surprisingi was among those who ordered organic milk the select times i chose to drink starbucks. did anyone recognize the organic brand they were using, or its origins? perhaps if they had publicized their organic milk offering as they do with their seasonal drinks, it may have been more recognized and demanded. and yes, $0.50 is too steep a price. do they at least use organic soymilk? which begs the question where are the soybeans coming from...ultimately, all we can hope for is that the farmers, animals, and land are treated fairly and justly in the process, regardless of which products are involved.
