Are you boycotting arlo?

[Soubriquet]

Seems to be a thing at the moment. First time I’ve seen our pack being sold cheap

Arla, and no.

Yep

No. Don't care.

To be honest I prefer Woody.

Would be a bit harsh to boycott my darling son after 11 years 😆

I don't know enough about this stuff they're giving the cows. It might be harmful to humans, but I'm already probably full of microplastics anyway and I'm getting on, so I'm not that bothered about these types of things for myself.

Nope. I used to not buy Arla products. However, dynamic pricing is now alive and well in the dairy aisle as a result.

The non-Arla products have raised their prices overnight, so I'm plumping for whatever is affordable (and £4.50 for country life butter is extortionate).

Not at all. I take a supplement for my gut, why should I begrudge Daisy or Clover some?

By the by, anyone know where the whole Daisy and Clover thing came from? Was it a cartoon or something from a kid's book perhaps

Yes.

Yes you know where the Daisy and Clover thing came from? Do share!

Yeah stupid autocorrect

What’s Arla done?

Yes.

I wouldn't even be able to name which products they make.

They are giving cows something to help stop them producing so much methane gas when they burp and fart. People are complaining that it’s not natural and that it will be passed on through the milk

You pay for slavery bestiality rape torture and murder of sentient creatures and complain about the shite that's being fed to them?!
Give me strength 🙄

Ironically I'd struggle to boycott Arla because I can't digest lactose, and they're major producers of lactose-free dairy products.

If I want to eat normal cheese, I have to take a lactase tablet to digest the lactose.

It's hardly surprising Arla are the folk who've had the bright idea of doing something similar for cows!

The NFU say the ingredients have had 15 years of trials, are broken down in the cow's digestive system, and don't appear in the milk or meat.

So if it's true that it's come out OK after 15 years of testing – for cows as well as consumers – I'm good to go with that.

Cows are inseminated, give birth, have their calves taken early to give us their over milk. Then when dry have their teats filled with antibiotics and sealed/injected with silicone like stuff to stop mastitis, and are then inseminated again to have another calf, and so on.
I think stuff to make them fart less methane is one of the lesser concerns.

These anti climate change funded PR companies are damn good at their jobs to get this hullabaloo going

No of course not. In fact I would actively buy it when buying milk.

No!
This is another bonkers conspiracy theory.

Two REFORM persons, Rupert Lowe MP and Richard Tice MP, who apparently have no scientific qualifications are questioning The Uk Food Standards Agency, a panel of 12 independent scientists.

They provide no scientific evidence, but claim that Bill Gates is involved, despite the fact that his interest is in a totally separate food supplement for cows.

It is currently approved for use in 68 countries.

It is a food supplement and its purpose is to reduce methane farts from cows, ie to help reduce global warming. There is no evidence that it transfers to milk, or butter or cheese.

Call me cynical, but I’m wondering about the money, who benefits if Arla gets trashed…

Yes.

While you're at it, boycott all dairy.

If it does get passed on in the milk, does that make the person drinking it less fart-y? Asking for DH a friend.

No.

No, we use plant dairy as FIL works for a company and we get it all free.
Although as pp suggested, wouldn’t mind getting hold of some Arla for the bloke at work who is 80% fart and lets it out over the course lf the working day. His swollen guts visibly shrink between 9am and 4pm. It is gross.

No. I prefer Arla Bob (Skimmed) milk over all others and I'm actually hoping that the fuss will bring the price down!
