It’s enough to make you choke on your cornflakes. Britons may be banned from drinking fresh-
milk in a Government inspired effort to save the planet from global warming.
Officials at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) have put forward a proposal to switch 90 per cent of consumers onto UHT milk by 2020, to cut down on refigeration in stores.
Officials have calculated that carbon emmissions can be cut by switching to UHT or Ultra-High Temperature milk, because it does not need to be kept cool until it is opened.
The plan is set out in a government paper that was sent out to farmers’ leaders and the dairy industry, according to The Times.
This is a woeful idea , mainly because UHT milk always tastes so bad. Not it is impossible to drink this stuff bad, but burnt and very processed bad. Personally I think that if it is necessary to make sacrifices to “save the planet” by reducing the use of refrigeration then perhaps the congregation of the Green Religion should look to doing something about the over use of air-conditioning in both our commercial and domestic buildings.
