Why vote goat? To start, it’s the most consumed milk in the world. According to Registered Dietitian Tamara Duker Freuman, here are three good reasons why:

Goat’s milk is naturally lower in lactose than cow’s milk, making it easier to digest for people who are mildly lactose intolerant.Goat’s milk dairy is as good of a source of calcium—if not better—than cow’s milk dairy. According to the USDA’s National Nutrient Database, one cup of goat’s milk actually has about 18% MORE calcium than an equivalent serving of cow’s milk.Unlike other calcium rich foods, goat’s milk actually seems to enhance iron absorption.Choosy Moms Choose Goat Milk for their Kids and her Spotlight on The Other White Milk - Here's Looking at You Kid!

One of the most difficult aisles to shop, I am told again and again by my clients, is the yogurt aisle,” said Freuman, who specializes in digestive health and food intolerance in her private practice in addition to blogging on those topics for US NEWS & WORLD REPORT’s eat + run health page. “As a dietitian, I educate my patients to recognize that the vast majority of yogurt options available are junky, processed foods high in sugar that most people are better off avoiding. Redwood Hill Farm’s goat milk yogurts, on the other hand, are all natural and minimally processed. The goats are never given growth hormones, routine antibiotics or genetically-modified feed, nor are pesticides or herbicides used anywhere on the farm. This helps ensure that the milk they produce is as wholesome and as untainted as possible.”

The Vote Goat campaign coincides with the introduction of eight new lids appearing on 6-oz cups of Redwood Hill Farm goat yogurts nationwide featuring personal messages from Owner Jennifer Bice pictured with her beloved goats.
