Legalize Milkweed Now!
I thought all that’s taken out of milk to make it “skim” is fat. Is fat what makes milk milk?Then they better change the name of skim milk, too. There's no milk in that stuff, either.
Legalize Milkweed Now!
I do believe that BT was making a joke..Why? According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service it isn't illegal to have it growing on your land and the US Department of Agriculture is encouraging farmers and ranchers to plant it.
It's essential to the survival of the endangered Monarch butterfly.
When I was very young, we used to have a milkman. It was kinda cool. He didn’t deliver anything but dairy products though. If Mom needed an extra quart of milk or a pint of cottage cheese, she’d leave a note in one of the used empty bottles that she’d set out on the porch every night for collection. Automatic recycling!Over here non-animal is often called "milk" with a prefix stating it's origin, eg "soy milk" or "almond milk", etc.. because the ingredients have to be displayed on the packaging. Goats' milk is labelled as such too but, as it is more expensive than cows' milk, very few people would be confused. I have my (cows') milk delivered to my doorstep in one pint (Imperial measurement - 20 fluid ounces) glass bottles. Eat your hearts out those of you who have to traipse to the supermarket.
After years of living with supermarket milk I no longer get up in the morning and find no milk in the 'fridge for my "cuppa" because flat-mate/house-sharer has used the last - there'll be a pint on the doorstep, ready and waiting for me. My milkman also delivers bread and other essentials, to order, as well as milk products. The milk comes from local farms and hasn't been collected at depots all round the country as supermarket milk often has been. All milk sold in shops and by milk delivery is pasteurised or sterilised or "long-life". You can still buy untreated milk but it's pretty rare. It can only be sold at the farm gate and the standard is very carefully monitored under Health & Safety rules.
Milk deliveries in one pint glass bottles were such an issue that, when we went over to metric measurements, milk was allowed to retain it's "pint" status despite EU rules. As were beer and cider (sold in pints and half pints in pubs) and miles on direction boards and speed limits, etc.
Of course it is. All that is removed is the cream.Then they better change the name of skim milk, too. There's no milk in that stuff, either.
I think the philandering milkman is an urban legend in every country that ever had doorstep deliveries. A while back we had a milk lady. Her husband broke his leg so she was filling in for him.When I was very young, we used to have a milkman. It was kinda cool. He didn’t deliver anything but dairy products though.

The milkman (not ours, just generally) also had quite a reputation as a roue, and was the punchline in many bawdy jokes. Jokes that, once hearing them, Millenials will get a puzzled look on their face and say “milkman???” Oy vey!

I'm not "fat phobic" - chaq'un a son gout". I use semi-skimmed because I prefer it. Full-cream milk is vile in tea.I get a kick out of the fat phobics who demonize whole milk, insisting on skim, or reduced fat milks.
Any other food that was labeled as being 96% FAT FREE. Would be the first choice of people watching their fat intake.

I have to say that I've never come across "1% milk". I suppose it might be used in industrial-sized food production.
