Years ago we stopped by the store on the way home to pick up some milk, just like we still do today. But it was simpler back then. There was really just one option. And so we offered it to our families without hesitation because you can trust your local farmer is producing pure milk, right ? Well, society has changed. We know people will do just about anything for a buck and we wonder, do we really know what's in our milk? Just because it says this, we heard there could also be this. And who knows what else. All milks from cows very well may look like this. So, can we only trust certain kinds of milk? If I buy this stuff, am I playing Russian Roulette with my family?
Oh wait! We live in Canada. Not only do we dominate the most important sport on the planet, we don’t allow this kind of stuff to happen. If a cow is sick it's treated outside of the supply line. In Canada there are no growth hormones used on dairy cows, ever. The only thing ever added to milk in Canada is Vitamin A and D. On top of that we're first and foremost focused on producing and delivering locally. Wait. Are you telling me that all of these are safe, quality products? Yep. It's all pure milk in Canada. But to be fair that one has a colorful label. All of this really, really is 100% pure, locally produced, rigorously tested, world-class quality Canadian milk. Find it in any store in Canada labeled “Milk”.
