Crisps, yoghurts and ready meals have low-fat plastered all over them and contain more than 3.5% fat. Blue top milk is seen as a horrifying health risk as it's 'full fat', but surely if it's only 3.5% fat we should be rejoicing in it's creamy loveliness instead of it being so vilified?

Nobody needs milk except babies. Cow's milk is produced by taking away the cows' babies.

Did you know - apparently there is more calcium in skimmed than in whole milk! I like to drink whole but have skimmed. Can't stand whole milk in tea these days though.
