It does seem strange that people are worried about an additive in cow feed, but less so drinking milk that isn’t really for humans. Someone on here had suggested oat milk, which is great for coffee/porridge. Need a suggestion for tea tho, used sweetened soy once and was a massive mistake.
I have oat milk in coffee and tea, nowt wrong with it, you get use to the taste and considering I gave up sugar as well it was a big step to make, from a lifetime of cows milk and sugar. I agree oat milk tastes better in coffee then tea, but just try all the varieties, my current turn to one is Califia, but it's more expensive than cows milk at £2.10 a 1l carton but you get offers on it from time to time that reduce it to £1.50 - £1.65. I could give up dairy completely, but I like chocolate too much lol. There is cow's milk and cream still in the fridge for family, so it's not completely a non dairy household anyway. But back to the main point, if people are complaining about Arla, then it's a joke because cows milk was not meant naturally for human consumption, certainly not on the mass and cycle we see.
Black tea without any milk is actually very nice. I drink PG Tips ordinarily, and that is anyway. I usually have skimmed milk, but if none around I'd rather black tea than use a fatty milk.
Surely gammons can just buy expensive organic oats and add their own salt and sugar? Although, in the case of porridge, isn't this what has always been done anyway, and the idea that we have to be protected from ourselves regards this particular food product is ****ing absurd?
Yeah I read that maple syrup flavoured porridge is 15g of sugar per 100g which is mental. I’m not in favour of restrictions in supermarkets and the high fat/salt/sugar measures they’ve taken haven’t don’t a lot. Healthy stuff is inelastic and even though it’s bought on impulse people aren’t just forgetting sweets exist because they aren’t bang slap in front of you as you walk in. But governments have to be seen to be doing something so you’re never going to get a government seen to be making eating **** or smoking more accessible. If you want people eating more healthily, make them wealthier. There’s a direct correlation between making people a bit wealthier and physical health being more of a priority.
Even organic oats are cheap enough. I think the move is to highlight stuff that people think is healthy is actually made unhealthy with all of the additives. I would argue that there's far worse out there than Porridge with salt and sugar added to it, but the general trend of curbing the incessant promotion of unhealthy crap sold as food, I'm all for
That’s it. If someone wants to put half a kilo of jam into their porridge or butter in their coffee then cool, no one can stop that nor should they. Lots of food masquerades as healthy and unfortunately people are too thick to know that and the marketing behind it is always going to be cleverer than Tracey at Asda trying to feed Jaden and Jayden for £4 a week.
No milk. I have had dark and will eat it, but not overly keen on it like I am milk. I try not to be tempted, but my will power is sometimes lacking lol
This I think it was Jamie Oliver who highlighted it. You get rich celebrity TV chefs preaching that it's not expensive to eat healthily coz you know, you can buy a bag of Potatoes for £1.20. But none of it takes into account the fact that a single mum with 3 kids isn't going to be spending 2 hours in the kitchen making Dauphinoise Potato with a Jersey cream garlic ganache, topped with a baked Gruyere cheese topping. Only for the kids to tell her it takes like **** and they want chicken nuggets. Coz, it's cheaper, quicker and easier to lob a tray of chicken nuggets in the oven
Yeah organic oats are not expensive....can't remember the price but would of thought they were affordable to most people.
People spreading **** on social media that the government are banning oats is just ****ing crazy. The gullible lap it up. But it’s the instant, high sugar ****. I had to grab an instant pot this morning, was the ‘original’ but still loads of sugar in the ‘milk’ powder. If you are not careful you are eating stealth sugars. but half is instant stuff in the Tesco near the office.
