Organic Milk

Yesterday I was listening to NPR as I got ready for work, and Margot came into the bathroom. The story on the radio was about organic milk, and the farmer being interviewed was explaining how his cows had acres of property to wander over, and various types of grass to munch on. Then a scientist spoke about some anecdotal evidence that omega-3 fatty acids from this sort of healthy, grass-based diet could actually be passed into the milk of these cows. Margot listened to this for a few minutes, looked at me thoughtfully, and then said, "Mommy? Remember when Jane was a baby? And you used to milk her?"
