John Key says we are paying more for our milk because "A price war at the moment in the UK is causing that."

I do not understand how this can be....

Oh, that one's easy.

Our supermarkets here price milk normally. In Australia, and I'm assuming the UK, milk is priced as a loss leader by many supermarkets. Similar to how our bread prices dropped to $1 as part of a pricing war.

bottled milk is not raw, its a diary product.
it doesn't seem expensive.

1403806 2015-06-30 19:52:00 It would taste a hell of a lot better if it was raw, this homogenised crap they sell us at a premium should be banned. gary67 (56)
1403807 2015-06-30 20:59:00 We could all just stop drinking the milk of a different species to ourselves...
I would, but for the fact that a cup of tea is horrible, with that non-dairy substitute...

1403808 2015-07-01 00:54:00 You could stop drinking that crap labelled as tea that needs milk and sugar to make it edible and get real tea; not the Indian version of it. :) R2x1 (4628)
1403809 2015-07-01 03:14:00 We're only supposed to drink water, but that's way too boring. I don't have a problem with the prices myself but I barely get through a litre before it expires so it's no big deal for me.

I always preferred silver top milk myself but I wonder once the first person steals the cream is what's left actually more like low fat milk?
In any case it makes breakfast much more enjoyable. I wouldn't buy raw milk though, it needs to at least be pasteurised for my liking.
I've learnt to live with Blue top and light blue and don't mind either, can't abide the even more reduced ones though. Milk free milk I call it.

I could be wrong, but I think once the layer of cream goes off the Silvertop, what you've got left is closer to Bluetop rather than Greentop.

1403811 2015-07-01 03:32:00 real tea


nom nom nom raw plant matter immersed in scalding water

i understand all domestic milk is powdered for export prior to being rehydrated for domestic sale. - i could be wrong as i have no citable sources and a reliable source one way or the other would be greatly appreciated.
