Guest guest Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 I don't really know for sure (because of the 'not viewing our own e-mails'), but I suspect that the message I sent before the test message didn't go out. I closed my Outlook program after I sent it, but before it went through Viruscan, so I think it got stuck on its way out... Here it is. (Oh by the way, after hitting "reply to all," is it ok/good to delete the other e-mail addresses except for cow (AT) pamho (DOT) net, so that the other devotees don't get duplicate e-mails?) OK, here it is: Hare Krishna I pay $5/gal for milk probably from the same cow [near Gita-nagari]. It's not an Adopt a Cow cow; it's from a devotee neighbor. They asked for $3/gallon saying that's what the local devotees will pay. I said I couldn't in good conscience pay that little. They reluctantly accepted $5, and seemed to feel slightly uncomfortable at first, apparently thinking the "extra" to be like charity. Around here regular non-organic milk sells for about $3/gallon (organic sells for about $6.80 per gallon). (The milk from the protected cow isn't quite organic; they feed non-organic grains.) The general attitude of most devotees I've met is that cheap is good. When I first went to buy milk from the local devotees, I planned to pay $8-10, but I was taken by surprise when they asked for $3. It made my original intended offer seem too weird. Then when I watched them spend a half-hour to milking the cow and filtering the milk, I thought I should've paid more. At the same time, I felt that it would be a way of criticizing the other devotees who bought milk from them. Another problem with selling cheap milk is that it prevents other devotees from raising cows. I'd like to have a milking cow within the next few years, and it would be much easier if we could sell extra milk at a reasonably sustainable price. Having pure milk for sale at $3/gallon is like having a Wal-mart in town. Before long there's no one else in business.
