Well, as the source in your own post states, it isn't being added to the milk, nor does it get into the milk via the cow.

There's an easy way to get around the issue - stop drinking cow's milk.

This post about BBC Three in the BBC Christmas thread is quite incredible.

Re: The Twitter eXodus

It seem Ricky Gervais has seem to made it onto British bigot list, Again I have no idea why he ended up there and Ive not been able to find this list from Bluesky. It's a list a user has put together - like all lists - with a useful description too: A list specifically for users who have pushed tha...

Re: The Twitter eXodus

Bluesky’s too serious and worthy. I have to agree, and this mass blocking and reporting is rather not great either, I can see coming to a head if JK rowling ever popped her head over there. No one is any better than anyone else on either platform and people just need to keep your political views to...

Re: The Twitter eXodus

I've found that enough people have moved over that I can actually scroll down through the "Following" feed and have something new to look at every time I do. I suppose a lot of it depends on what your discussing - a lot of TV presentation people have moved over, but certain topics only see...

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread

Isn't the "Exceptional" range a sub-tier of the premium items? It seemed to be a range trying to compete with the higher end items M&S sells, from what I could tell at my last visit. I don't think so - when I was in there a few days ago, I noticed a few Exceptional items that had &quo...

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread

This brand refresh seems to be on the slow side. Saw a few elements in their back to uni / school events recently but not much else. The new font they introduced (the odd mix of upper and lower case letters) just seems to have been added to the roster of the many existing fonts they use, seemingly ...

I was in Asda in York a few weeks ago, and I was surprised to find actual music was playing (at quite a volume too)

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

John Lewis are reintroducing the Never Knowingly Undersold slogan. I’ve never been able to get my head around what it means. It’s a crap pretentious slogan. It's a price promise. It only previously applied to high street stores, but will now apply to online retailers as well. It sounds silly and po...

excellent work by Asda here: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5ypdd93dv0o When I was a kid we had some lamb chops go through the till at Sainsbury's for several hundred pounds. If only the clickbait internet existed back then, we could've monetised our terrible misfortune. Presumably the differen...

Re: The Very Official McDonalds (and other fast food outlets) Thread

Subway up my end went from 4 locations down to none (there is still one listed on the Subway website but it's long been closed). I also note that the formerly burgeoning Papa's Fish and Chips has cut back locations quite a bit (down to just seven now). One of the most recent closures is in Whitby, ...
