Healthy milk

Buy oat or soy milk. Much kinder to the planet and your body.

And kinder to the cows and their babies. Nobody needs milk once they’re weaned.

Soy kinder to the planet?

Please do check that out.

Brings back memories as a girl walking from Bosley towards Buxton with mum and nan. We got totally lost and mum stopped at a farm for help. The farmer gave me warm milk straight from the cow. I still remember it. My surgery keep shouting at me over the phone to give up my full English breakfast as I have high cholesterol which is just over 5 by the way. The health care assistant almost gave herself a heart attack screaming at my down the phone about my rich oily breakfasts. Not sure why she got herself in such a state as I don’t eat breakfast at all. Not hungry until about 3 p.m when I enjoy a Mediterranean meal as lived in the Mediterranean most of my life. I will be changing my surgery because of her.

It’s not that healthy anymore. It contains antibiotics (dairy cows often suffer from terrible mastitis) and now some brands are adding Bovaer.

Milk is tested from the bulk tank before it is collected. If, when it gets back to the dairy it doesn't pass the stringent criteria the whole tanker full of milk will be deemed contaminated and the farmer faces a very hefty fine.
If a cow has to have antibiotics then her milk will not enter the tank.

🙏 for this comprehensive information…feel better about milk testing… although years ago, there were no such tests and people of my kin survived into their 90+ ..

Going back to childhood memories, I didn’t like milk or butter, and the school milk bottles were always dirty looking so a good friend always used to drink mine although caught out by a nun who made me drink it and I actually vomited it back up …
Was sent home and mother had attend school meeting about it..horrible experience…

Then coffee was brought bought into the house…it was chicory based in a tall thinish bottle- can someone remind me what it was called? As children we were not allowed to drink it…
Now I can’t start my day without a cup or two😊

Camp coffee .

Thats it Camp coffee...couldn't for the life of me remember...Mother used to drink this with condensed milk!

I have yet to understand what UN-healthy milk might be. (Unless someone starts to milk cats, rats or plague dogs, maybe...)

I think Camp Coffee probably needed the sweetness of condensed milk to make it drinkble!! 🤣

Ex MIL used to drink Camp made entirely with sterilised milk. She called it stera-java. I thought it was foul, but each to her own, I guess.

Camp coffee and condensed milk. My paternal grandparents drank it (shudder). My sister and I lived with them in the schoolholidays for a few years and would keep creepingninto the kitchen and sticking a finger on the condensed milk can, getting it covered in condensed milk and then licking it off.

It's annoying when a consensus is overturned. We follow gov. advice and if it changes all we can do is change with it.

Or perhaps decide for ourselves maybe?

When the Gov decided in the 90s that nutritional advice would be science based I was all for it and quite excited that at last we would see some sound advice given to people. The excitement died for me very quickly when I realised that science is like history - you only know what you know now, and tomorrow some further research can tell a whole different story. Research into nutrition is especially dicey because you can't test on humans, so a lot of the data is extrapolated from what we learn about the sick.

Another problem is that having invested billions of pounds in training doctors and other medics, producing training programs, books, teaching aids, showing what today's science shows and how they should be advising the public it's very hard to change the flow and re-educate everyone.

People's reputations are also on the line - they don't want things to change that they have been backing for 20 years. Not to mention a whole raft of the science that is done on foods is done by pharmaceutical companies and food companies, who all want a piece of the pie.

I no longer have any interest in nutritional guidelines and just make my own mind up what to eat.

Sorry, that was a bit long.

Camp coffee is good for flavouring when cooking cakes, biscuits, etc, but not for drinking!

Wasn’t there something called Bev as well?

I only drink skimmed due to high cholesterol. I’ve now started using Organic milk( twice the price but no antibiotic fed cows)! My problem is I can find 2 litres in supermarkets. Anyone know where I can get 4litres from?
