I dunno about organic milk but I tasted this bell pepper at the FHA today.It's organic bell pepper from Canada and OMG it is the most delicious bell pepper I've every eaten!
It doesn't taste like a bell pepper at all. I think I can eat it as a fruit. Very sweet and fragrant and juicy

i like organic food, they are non-GMO and use no pesticides.i like the current organic grapes at cold storage, it's taste much nicer than the regular ones.
i don't think it's a placebo effect, the taste is cleaner.
organic food tend to spoil faster also, because they are natural and less resistant to enviromental influences.
i have yet to try the organic milk, will probably buy a pack one day, it's very expensive.

*yuck*Vanilla is fragrant mah!!
In any case, it was donkey years ago since I last got a whiff of HL milk. We're talking about more than a decade ago, because Beng used to drink HL milk so it's an olfactory association of sorts.
Me, I used to be Lactose Intolerant but I think because I kept drinking Big M's Skim Chocolate Milk, I somehow developed less of a reaction over time. I still do get reactions, but just much milder.
BTW, bloody Big M is stinging on chocolate because their milk not only used to taste fuller-bodied, it used to taste more chocolatey too. If they dilute it any further, I'll just stick to buying soya bean milk and just add milo + chocolate powder into it! Lately, I've been diluting Milo + chocolate powder in a little bit of hot water and then adding it into the milk because there's the chocolate colour, but no taste of chocolate!

Organic food?
'A Current Affair', a local TV program on Ch 9 over here in Melbourne, did look into organic food a while back. Here's what they discovered :
Organic food not healthier, say experts
Fri 23/03/07By Damian Murphy
Researchers at Sydney University have found organic food is not nutritionally superior to other fresh produce, prompting questions about what kind of value this growing industry offers consumers.
Mother of two, Sharon Walsh, began buying organic produce for her first child.
"For me it was very much about 'If I'm going to be a good mum, I should get the best quality I can'."
But she says, over time, it became clear the only difference between organic food and other fresh produce was the price.
"I didn't smell or taste any difference and I just thought I was paying a lot of money. I kind of questioned why, so I just went back to the normal fresh produce."
Nutritionist Catherine Saxelby is another sceptic of organic food.
"The studies haven't shown that organic is superior to regular produce," Catherine says.
Both sides of this debate agree though that organic food is more expensive for consumers.
"Yep, you do pay more," says organic grocer Pierce Cody. "I say to people, not flippantly, that you pay the price now or pay the price later."
We went shopping and found a basket of apples, bread, chicken, eggs and milk cost $24.70 at a supermarket. The very same basket of goods cost us $42.40 at Pierce's organic grocery store, Macro.
The organic food industry is a $350 million industry in Australia and it's supporters say it is better for you.
"Over eight percent of people who are diagnosed with cancer are prescribed an immediate organic diet."
"Now there's something in that, you've got to think about that," says Pierce.
"The nutrition value has been shown, in a lot of research, that it's much higher in an orange, for example, compared to a chemically-farmed orange."

when i went to cameron highlands
there were a few shops having steamboat with organic vegetables
we went to one recommended by our landlady and
the taste is REALLY different
the vegetables are very sweet and crisp
the second night we had a regular steamboat
and when u compare the taste, its much flatter
but having said tt.. i dont really care much at the whole nutrition of it
its the TASTE that matters!
but if I got to pay twice or triple the $$$ for having only slightly better taste
then uhhh.. nevermind la

dude its not about the taste or the nutrition.
Its about not eating the harmful chemicals from pesticides which might give you cancer. Of course, with good taste and nutrition, it might give you even more of an incentive to buy organic.

You know how tasteless bell peppers are in SG from the supermarkets?
You have to taste the bell pepper I had at FHA to know the difference.
The flavour is like at 2 opposite ends of the stick
And I am never a fan of bell pepper but this one wowed me
-
Oh and vanilla flavouring is the pits
If they mixed in brewed vanilla extract from real vanilla beans, that will be different
But you can't be cheap if that happens

actually, how do you know that HL is flavoured milk?
