These boys can go through a kg in a week without any trouble at all. That's a huge wack of the grocery bill, which is why I've put the stops on all the cheese gobbling. We're back to just plain eating now. It helps. lol

Have you ever heard of 'Milk Wars'?
The big supermarkets over here have their own home brand lable for milk, and a year or so ago, they started competing by dropping the prices of their home brand milk down to $1/litre. They did the same with bread by making it $1/loaf. While this is good for the consumer, it's not so great for the farmers. I feel sorry enough for dairy farmers. As it is, I reckon they have the shitties type of farmer job you could have because of the hours they're stuck with and so forth, but they run on a pretty tight budget already. If their contracts are renewed at lower prices, can they afford to continue? Possibly not, which means that if the inevitable knock on effect goes ahead, this bubble is going to burst big time and we're all going to wish we could afford to drink milk.

The gene for lactose tolerance is the recent mutation in our general species. Lactose intolerance is far more prevalent worldwide.
(Though it's also important to note that aged cheeses have no lactose in them, because it's a sugar that's all been fermented out by the cheese-making cultures. Soft cheeses like mozzarella still contain a certain amount of lactose.) |

Tescos sells standard milk at .52p per/litre. Since there's something like 3.8 litres to an American gallon that would work out at around £2.04 per/US gallon. Which is around $3.20

Now compare our cheese, please.
I need to know whether it is cheaper to buy mature cheddar here or there. This could make the difference as to whether I up sticks and marry Sarge. What? I should do it myself? Ah well in that case I'm staying here - far too complicated a sum...

Geeze, poor Sarge will be sad when he sees the main reason you're not going to run into his loving arms are a few sums!
You're a wicked woman!!!

I bet she knows what 23 times 3 is, though.
