what about goats milk where that from?

I'll get back to you on that one

This thread contains a pastuerized git.

I would stay away from milk as much as possible if i were you. A lot of times they use left over milk and used milk when they are putting it in the cartons. I have a friend who worked where they did it. He does not drink milk anymore.

In general, I actually like the UK's labeling, though. Very handy for vegetarians that stuff is spelled out in bold letters like that. Instead of scrutinizing the tiny printed ingredient list to catch an animal product.

and what about mother's milk, where that from?

it tickled me!!!

milk is freakin' gross.

LleeLlee said:

ok i thought the "suitable for vegetarians" bit was kind of interesting...
next thing will be that they expand that list to read

suitable for lacto vegetarians or lacto-ovo vegetarians
not suitable for ovo vegetarians and if you
consider yourself a vegan stay at least five paces away!

red hot chillie peppers?

i've got a jar of organic honey peanut butter (well, the name on the label sez "honey peanut spread", but it's basically peanut butter no matter whatcha call it ) that's got a bit of a warning similar to that on it: made in a plant that processes soy, sesame, and other tree nuts.

i think that the fact that the label has the word "peanut" in big-assed capital letters would suffice.

Unless of course it doesn't contain milk....in which case it would be called...

"I Don't Beleive it's Not Milk".....

Steadwood said:

my folks always did that--they'd buy two gallon jugs of milk. one got put in the fridge as always, and the 2nd jug got put in the freezer in order to stay fresh. i used to hate that, because there'd be little ice shards in the milk when they'd pour me a glass to go along with my dinner. i hated drinking milk in the first place, so the half-thawed milk made me hate it that much more.

i used to love those icemilk shards when that happened to me! usually it was from a paper milk carton i drank at the district conventions of JWs!

"I can't believe it's not milk."

TMPletz said:

why did you have to go there??

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

You could always have milk Ice Cubes I suppose...

Then it'd be..."One lump of Milk or two"

TMPletz said:

...spray.

my mother would freeze milk in case we were unable to get to the grocery store in the winter

perhaps it had been frozen too long or just took on other flavors but it never tasted right after it thawed

emm said:

yeah, that's another thing i hated about drinking thawed milk...it just tasted weird.

Being a parent with a child that has a severe allergy to some nuts I'm happy if they are over zealous about allergy warnings.

does this mean guys will now have to put ingredient labels on our testicles?

I can hear it now....

I've never bought any, I heard it curdles your tea

bkw said:

In the article the guy was saying that this kind of labeling, i.e bottles of milk containing milk, undermines the seriousness of food allergies, i.e that they're making a mockery of it.

I don't really have anything to add, but I just wanted to say this is a fantastic thread.
