Seeing as the dairy farmer is getting about $0.15usd per "pasturized" gal (on a
good day!), where do you think the diff is made?

They're paid something like $1.32 for a gallon of milk. Sadly, it costs
something like $1.92 to produce that gallon.

to me a good whole milk yogurt is close enough to sour
cream that we use it for that in most places. i don't
like sweetened yogurts much, the only exception i've
found so far is that once in a while i like some sriracha
sauce on it with some sprinkled sugar added.

and, it's really good to make tzatziki sauce with a
good yogurt.

we used to eat several gallons a month of plain yogurt
but i'm really reducing calories as much as i can so i've
cut back on a lot of things. now i may eat a quart a
month. i used to make my own and that was really good.

My guess is that in the future, the milk cow will mostly exist in zoos. The kids will get a kick from seeing a real cow in the zoo. Why milk a cow when you can just make milk in a lab?

Wine was not a beverage that was in the house much less served. No
development for a taste of it and not a great fan of wine cooked in
foods either.

I don't get the appeal since I'm not a partaker. I see people drink wine
and you'd think they just had a hit of cocaine. I drink it and my face
screws up like I'd just downed a glass pickling vinegar.

Are you sure it hadn't gone off and wasn't overly cheap? Not saying
that you have to like wine, but if it was that sour, one has to wonder
what was wrong.

Well, if everybody else partaking of the grape is in an orgasmic state and
I think it tastes like vinegar then no, it's not gone off. Nor was the
wine cheap; far from it.

Then it must be a fact that you can't tell wine from vinegar. There
are worse afflictions, I guess.

like liver. Many people have taste that is different than the majority.

The point wasn't that Joan doesn't like wine, but that she can't
distinguish wine from vinegar.

I'm not a fan of wine either, tried all kinds on and off over the
years... but nope. I did use it in cooking for a few years but the
novelty eventually wore off. I enjoy a lager beer with certain spicy
Thai foods, but that's about it these days.

One needs slightly more advanced tastebuds to appreciate wine. I
wouldn't expect you to like it

Wow! I didn't know they made all those brands! I rarely buy milk for myself.
I don't drink it. I use powdered for cooking/baking unless I know in advance
that I'll be making something and then I might buy it.

The person who was living here drank tons of milk but he is gone now. So
I'll be back to not buying it.

There are people who can't distinguish cilantro from soap, but I don't
judge them. It's how their nervous system is wired, and something
over which they have no control. You can't choose your parents, and
you can't choose your taste buds.

It's not about being "advanced". You're like those idiots who say that
people are more evolved than worms. Every animal on the planet is equally
evolved. Everybody's taste buds are equally advanced.

I serious doubt that since there are so many other items with greater
markup potential.

When they just slice and dice something and repackage the price can be
exorbitant in relation to buying the item and just cutting it up yourself.

If you just consider the investment, labor, transportation, packaging
and advertisement cost, it is quite amazing that you can buy a gallon of
milk for under 10$.

A quick google list show 14 of the most profitable grocery store items
and milk doesn't show up there.

That was my first thought, Gary. But she could also be talking about
her ex-husband. She enjoys dropping hints to make us guess.

If you (the collective you) don't drink milk, it only makes sense not to
buy it until you need it for a specific recipe.

No, they're not. And people aren't equally advanced either. Some call
you an idiot when they disagree with you. Just an example.

Ask her. She's here.

No, but you're willing to call her childish and imply she's inferior.

Milk is not a high profit item. It's a item that will motivate shoppers to enter the store for the purpose of fulfilling their milk requirements/fix/jones. A milk jones is a terrible thing to witness. The stores will price milk to entice folk to come in and buy other crap. It's a proven strategy!

I like to buy the cheap milk. Currently, a good price would be 5 bucks a gallon. This is milk that's shipped over here. Milk from the local dairies would cost more. When we moved to California back in 78, I was shocked at the cheap milk. I thought the place was a cheap food heaven.

Sad but true.

I use very little milk so I sometimes find myself finding a recipe to
use it up before it goes bad.
