Interesting Supply and Demand fact, for the first time , UK Milk Production is expected to exceed 13 billion litres this year.
I love milk and I think it is good for me. I buy semi-skimmed and also I like to have desserts made with cream and I can make my own ice-cream. I also occasionally buy full-fat milk to have in my coffee as it froths’ up well.
In order for animal welfare to be maintained , I would prefer to buy milk and milk products locally , I don’t even want it transported from Scotland, never mind New Zealand or the United States of America. I will never be a massive consumer. I actually have oats and water in my cereal.
Demand for milk and milk products will unfortunately not meet the Supply factor particularly if they are exponential with more efficient farming methods. I remember seeing a farm that the cows could be automatically milked when they wanted, which if it was an ever rising demand would be an attractive proposition, however, with consumer tastes , what suits is a real person, with real cows doing a farming job which enables them to live a good life with their family and still supply a good product to a Public who appreciates it.
I want milk that says where it comes from and guarantees animal welfare, if I get a whiff that I’m getting milk from a massive industrial vat of mixed origin then I will probably move away from milk products.
Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏
