With all the news about microplastics maybe we should go back to glass bottles.

Glass's issue is transportation cost, so you'll want to make milk supply more local...wait a minute, this is starting to sound like commie shit
We have glass bottle milk in vancouver area. $1-$2 deposit on the bottle, good incentive to return it when you get your new bottle.
I don't know if I can sarcastically say 'sounds like commie shit' any harder before it would sound like I'm actually against it
That does sound fantastic. How's the shelf(/fridge) life of the milk?

There was a local dairy in my hometown and they had a little shack set up on the road where you could buy bottles of milk. It was the best milk I've ever drunk in my life.

I would absolutely love the glass bottles.
I worry about breakage and substandard cleaning in the coming era of downsized food safety checkers in the Bitcoin Milhouse cabinet, but a few plebes dying from salmonella will fix that spending ... almost.

With all the price gouging happening and shrinkflation, changing consumer habits could spell the end of food.
Is it "changing consumer preferences", or is it the industry seeing an opportunity for shrinkflation.
Clearly it's the shrinkflation

So Canadians are giving up on milk and just drinking maple syrup now? Sweet!
I once made the mistake of telling my american coworkers that I buy over a gallon of fresh maple syrup from a local sugar shack each year and I was excited for spring because I was running low⦠I think I warped their perception of the canadian diet.

How will our kids get their daily dose of microplastics????!!!!
Don't worry, they don't have to try, it's likely in well water at this point. Guaranteed most of your store bought food probably has it too.

You guys drink milk out of bags? We use glass, plastic, or cardboard jugs down in the States.
Some places do things a bit differently. More news at 11

I love bagged milk, but I can't go through THREE FUCKING BAGS as a family of two.
They're more eco-friendly than the box or the jug, but I guess that goes against the goal of consuming more raw materials.
More eco-friendly? Where I am we canβt recycle any of the bags whereas the box and jug we can.
It's worth remembering that being accepted in a blue bag and actually being recycled are two very different things. Much of the plastic we've "recycled" over the years just ended up in landfills in China.
Remember the old "Where does it go?" "Away," PSAs from the late '80s and early '90s? Well, plastic recycling has been that, but at an industrial scale.

It's funny we have no issues drinking milk from many animals, but people would be grossed out knowing it's milk from a human breast, and wouldn't drink it.
Edit: changed any to many
It's funny we have no issues drinking milk from any animal
Bruh we definitely have issues drinking milk from other animals.
Have you ever seen anyone drink Dog Milk? Cat Milk? Possum Milk? Pangolin Milk? Motherfuckin... Platypus Milk? They all mammals.

What I'm wondering is, we have made strides to synthetically make milk with the use of yeast to make the proteins. So theoretically, we could make any milk. Why are we making cows milk this way?
