My comment:
Now we have to convince all supermarkets to start filling these cartons with good quality milk originating from cows grazing on traditional pastures full of clover.
In the States they call milk from 'modern' industrial-style dairies 'white water', as a result of the intensive processes depleting the many nutrients that provide the healthy content of milk.
The Conservative Government should really have 'stuck to their guns' and abolished milk for primary school kids... it is not the same beneficial type of milk we used to have all those years ago and does have questionable health benefit nowadays. I think kids would be better served with drinking more water.
Now what was I just saying?
