I think keeping the costs up as it's such a staple is important, we wouldn't want them compromising on standards on the farm which may have an impact on the animals and/or the product. Undercutting one another for pennies is silly who really trawls to an out of the way supermarket to get a pint 2p cheaper?

They actually all have milk protein allergy so, nope . Lots of Almond milk and Coconut milk here. Both of which are absolutely foul in coffee...
They're also both quite a bit more expensive than cowboob milk, come to think of it... |

It is odd how so many people are having these reactions to milk, I'm wondering if it isn't the processing there's studies that say pasturisation isn't that great for milk, the organic milk we get is homogenised :/ I'd love to try raw milk.

They should bring back the Milk Marketing Board and make them completely independent and profit free and give the the power to set prices based on farmers and processors costs and retailers profit margins so everybody gets a fair piece of the pie.
The big retailers have used really cheap milk (and bread) as a way to get people into their stores for years. There is a reason why milk and bread are always at the far end of the supermarket they cottoned on years ago that if you put the things that everybody needs to buy at the back of the store and make them as cheap as possible you sell more of everything else along the way. It is unfair on the farmers to be used like that. If you buy milk if you look for the red tractor logo then you can be assured the farmer received a fair price. |

Humans tolerance of lactose in a lot of people comes from a gene mutation that became dominant in parts of Europe and North America. 70%+ of the world has some intolerance to Lactose so your the weird ones really. I dont know much about milk protein allergy but i imagine its worse as its an allergy whereas if i have too much dairy i just shart myself inside out.

for the record i only dated him for 2 months. it was a quick lesson. (and he was malaysian of chinese decent) that's how i n ow about the fact that it['s mostly asians that have that disorder. he tried to make it seem like he had no control over it based on his race, but of course he had control over not eating cheese or dairy, atleast as much control as i had over my smoking. it was a shame, cause i am extremely attracted to asian guys, and he was my first asian guy, but now i know from now on, ask up front, are you lacto?? #datingasianmentips

But yeah the major difference is that they can't have any of the lactose free dairy products either as removing the lactose actually makes things worse. It also means that low-rate dairy (skimmed milk, etc.) is actually much worse than full-fat because less fat = more milk protein. Some of the coconut substitutes are actually OK though, there's a dairy free cornetto alternative that even has the little chocolate end (soy chocolate) and it tastes almost identical to "real" ice cream. My daughter is also a big fan of chocolate milkshake, made with Nesquick powder and almond milk, and it's actually alright! |

It's sad that a 500ml bottle of fizzy drinks is like £1.30 yet a 4 pint milk is only £1 or less they definitely should raise milk prices.

Good ol' Morrisons. I'll definitely buy it, not that I drink that much milk... but I think they'll be surprised how many people are willing to support the dairy farmers.

'Aldi and Morrisons have announced they will increase the price they pay suppliers for milk after bowing to growing pressure from dairy farmers about the crisis in the industry.
Aldi, the discount supermarket, said it would pay a minimum of 28p per litre for liquid milk from Monday, following talks with farmers and unions, while Morrisons will pay 26p per litre The increase was announced after Asda said on Thursday it would also pay 28p per litre. This means that Aldi, Morrisons and Asda have committed to pay more than the current average price paid to farmers of 23.66p per litre.' They could've just lowered their profit margin... :/ http://www.theguardian.com/business/...da-raise-price

All hail the Moyesiah

It was some farmers I know quite well who helped kick start a lot of the protests doing the milk trolley challenge near me where they cleared the local Morrisons shelves of milk. I support them and am glad that it seems to be having an impact.
