I dispute that as well. Regular milk has antibiotics in them. Organic milk doesn't. Which one sounds more healthy to you? If microbe killing drugs are already provided in the milk, how much healthier can it get?

The organic NYC City-Data forum is much healthier for you than the regular one.

Because in New York you got subways and rail service most people don't need gasoline. Therefore they make it cheaper so it sells. Most people drink milk and there aren't many substitutes.

But then gasoline is MORE expensive in NYC than almost anywhere else.

Which has always been a mystery, given the fact that there are refineries close by. It's almost as if...as if...the prices were kept high artificially. (I know, I know--we're not supposed to think things like this!)

ARTIFICIAL prices? In a capitalist economy? IMPOSSIBLE.

Jeez, if you cannot trust the OIL companies to behave in a free market with no constraints on them, who CAN you trust?

Remember, Monopoly is only a game...there can be no such thing in the land of the free.

If they thought you were saving money by drinking gasoline instead of milk, the price of gasoline would go even higher!

they better go back to price fixing school as they are the worst price fixers ever.

when a product comes from some of the most horrible places on the planet and has to be shipped around the world and processed and handled multiple times ,has a ton of taxes on it and barely kept pace with inflation in price the last 30 years they are doing something wrong. take the taxes out of the equation our state throws on and a gallon of gas is a real bargain


when i was a kid gas was .31 cents in the early 70's. everything from pizza to ice cream is up 10 to 20x since then. gas has not havent even kept pace with the price of a subway token.
im not thrilled about our energy costs but the fact is im just glad if they are price fixing they have to be the worlds worst at it.
they need to take lessons from the bottled water industry.
