Do you know how much a bottle/carton/litr of milk is?

Raw milk is best.. Well certainly tastes best

I have no idea, I don't drink milk. Would much rather drink water, though I get some people like to add it to cereal and tea/coffee. I don't eat cereal and only drink black coffee.

Someone being accused of being out of touch for not knowing the price of milk is ridiculous.

I only heard what happened second hand. Didn't watch the debate. Did anyone have the wherewithal to challenge the need for it? If you want someone to represent you , you'd rather they had the ability to speak for themselves. To me it sounded like they just stood there stumped. No quality there at all for someone who's asking us to let them represent us on a global stage.

As in they are permitted under organic regulations as a cure for individual animals . Some animal husbandry gives antibiotics as preventatives if others in a herd are sick.

Bag o' milk from the local shop earlier, in all its unpasteurised glory...

Centra own brand 99c, Snowcream (Glanbia) in Centra 1.39 - it's the same milk!

Tesco 75c which is the cheapest milk I know of (unless I express my own!)

Skimmed milk has the same amount of protein and calcium as whole.

But whole milk is healthier than skimmed milk.

I drink skimmed in my tea for the taste, not the health benefits.

I know the price of most things I buy regularly. I think I note things like that out of habit, a hangover from my broke student days where every single cent was accounted for.

In the old days I spent ages looking at tits.

I see people going shopping and they have no idea how much items costs. It just goes in the trolley. I have no idea how they do it.

1 Litre of Milk, Tesco, Dunnes, Aldi, LIDL, 75c

Anything else robbery.

Dunno how you can claim anything else is robbery when those prices I would be surprised even cover the cost of production. It's cheaper than water.

What difference does it make, it has to be bought.

That's me. I have my grocery list, I need the items, I put them in the trolley and I buy them. I don't see what's so hard to grasp in that.

I think the better question is what kind of self flaggelating weirdo actually drinks skimmed milk? Might as well stick cold water on your cereal/ in the tea.

Yes that is correct but If I ever ask about organic milk the answer I'm given is the cows are never given antibiotics and they are treated better or something!

Not quite never given antibiotics.

The full gamut of antibiotics that is available for conventional animals are available for organic animals. They are only supposed to be given one course of antibiotics, any more and they become non organic and are either sent to the factory or sold to a conventional farmer. They also have to double the withholding period for that type of antibiotic so, instead of a 72 hour period for withholding the milk for sale, they would have to withhold for 144 hours.

After that, the milk is organic milk again:rolleyes:

I've an aunt and once it has an organic label on it's wonderful.
It goes in one ear and out the other most of the time.

No. But I don't buy milk. I could tell you how much bread, cheese etc is.
