Milk's impact on the planet dairy, soya, rice, oat and almond compared

[Wookey]

Do I have to pick a side then?

Pick a fuckin milk!!!

 

[8ball]

Do I have to pick a side then?

It seems so.

You often seem to cop it on this site for deviating from some kind of agreed standard of ideological purity.

 

[8ball]

If all that people want to do is belittle those who they think aren't as righteous as they are, then all online debate is a waste of time.
I attempted to provide an ethical source for milk, but I was ridiculed because one of the links didn't sell milk, despite the fact that I only did a quick search for ethical dairy.

Yeah, picking stuff apart is what we
do.

Full fat is the only one I buy as it's the one less likely to get pinched at work!

So you're doing your usual 'im also guilty but I'm going to have a go at anyone else who is guilty of what I do' thing.
It wears thin. Very quickly.

You want to get dog’s milk.
No one nicks that.

 

[Wookey]

But what colour is your full fat bottle top? I've witnessed woeful discrepancies of late in that department, and the supermarket milk carton colours don't correspond to the bottle tops either, it's chaos out there.

nope. i'm merely acknowledging that there is a reasonable conversation to be had about how we limit the exploitation of finite resources, but perhaps not online.
not promising owt as i'm am presently an insomniac, but i may have to go back to lurking on sensitive issues - reading instead of contributing - it was better then and i learned a lot. not gonna suggest you do the same, cos you won't.

How the fuck do you milk a dog??

I was going to suggest milking my cats but I'd probably have got another warning for animal cruelty.

Spymaster may have some advice to offer in this area.

It’s not as odd a thing as it sounds - humans breastfeeding animals and vice versa is something that has happened many times in various cultures.

Well, yes, considering they are neutered

What's the orange one all about? Noticed it recently.

Yeah, but semantics and pedantics aside

 

[Wookey]

Oh my Christ that's funny - you could make loads of those for laffs! "Jerusalem Artichokes: Please note, these artichokes do not come from Jerusalem"

I learnt plenty, and not just with regards to the environmental impact of food production, distribution and consumption as detailed on this particular thread. shut up and listen is a good strategy for those of us who are used to talking as if no one else's opinion mattered.

1% fat. A little more skimmed than
“semi-skimmed”.

Really?? You live and learn. More skimmed than semi-skimmed but not skimmed, eh?

Then feel free to come back when you're willing to abide by that mantra.

well-skimmed

but then i wouldn't come back...

 

[8ball]

Yeah, the semi-skimmed/skimmed distinction is dying out a bit. Semi is about 1.7% (fairly wide margin of error) and skimmed about 0.3%.
