If not Lurpak, what?

I like the 'white' butter of Lurpak, as opposed to the 'yellow' of most. Can anyone recommend a decent alternative?

I have no idea what your 'persecution' comment refers to, more rubbish no doubt. No need to tell me. 😵‍💫🫣😁🤣

it is still unclear at this stage how much of the NOP-3 bioaccumulates in muscle and organ tissue. I would remind you that the decreased heart/ovary size in the second study was not classed as an 'adverse effect' and small amounts of it do actually pass into the milk but are not classed as high enough in volume as to be 'of concern'. One can't take all scientists' word for it. they are human too. Some are happy to take the money, some are compromised professionally and even when harmful things occur, big business likes to push ahead anyway as the compensation they have to pay out is dwarfed by the amount of money they can make. They knew that sheep infected with scrapie were being ground up to give to cows. It showed that there were issues in animal models yet it was still allowed to enter the food chain with the resultant BSE cases. Farmers can and do use natural alternatives to control methane in dairy and beef flocks. It is of course a natural process and is absorbed back into the ground (methane cycle) and breaks down. An easy way around it is to plant more trees but not much money in that for agro-industrial companies. Far more harmful are the gas/oil/coal fired power stations and plastics production

thank you for this

...and, again, there is nothing wrong with Arla. 🫣

I didn't say there was did I? I've just eaten a bagel with Lurpak on.

The OP asked for an alternative to Lurpak and I'm just saying that Aldi and Tesco products which a lot of posters are suggesting are not suitable alternatives.

I just can't imagine how people switching to organic milk is upsetting you so much that you feel justified in being so incredibly rude to so many posters on this thread?

How have you managed to make this all about you?

Either really. I use block and spreadable Lurpak at the moment. Yes, it is down to the additive thing..

So you are absolutely fine with cows being jabbed, their food being spread with insecto and pestacides where some of those sprays were not tested. But something which is tested and has been used for 5 years in other countries is something that scares you? Make sure you don't ever buy corned beef, it's had it for 4 years. (Virtually all corned beef is from south America).
But to answer your question, make your own with organic cream and organic rapeseed oil and a very small amount of water at the end to make it whiter. You know that water with all those nasty chemicals. It's the rapeseed (naturally orange / yellow which tints the spreadable).

I'm not upset, no matter how many times you say I am.
I have no issue with folk making an educated choice. A choice based on scaremongering isn't an educated choice though.

Sorry, I misread. Please accept my apology and hope you enjoyed xozr bagel.

Try a local dairy farmer directly. A lot have been posted online that they don’t use it.

Local milk man has never been busier since they confirmed they don’t buy from dairy’s using it.

I started cutting down on my use of butter when I was trying to lose weight by only buttering one slice of bread in my sandwich. It works particularly well if the filling you’re having is slightly wet like peanut butter. Anyway, point I’m making is that if you use less then you might be able to still buy the more expensive stuff.

Katesboots · 08/12/2024 15:23

M&S unsalted block butter is nice as is Grahams.

Why if the use of the additive has no impact on you.

Are you supporting cows rights to fart as much as they wish? More methane for everyone!

It is quite telling how much of the scaremongering over this product — which is intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions — seems to be coming from politicians and media outlets that don't think that greenhouse gases are anything to be worried about. Doubtless that's just a coincidence, though. 🙄

Theres already worldwide research that proves the safety of this product - but I guess some people much prefer to get their scientific facts from TicTok these days 😂

Maybe you should tag someone who is actually worried about this?

My only point was that it is the consumer's business if new drugs are introduced (so they can be tested) and tghat in-house research is often heavily biased and to trust independent research only.

I wouldn't eat Lurpak because it's a mix of butter and oil.

No cow feed panic here.
