Milk's getting too pricy

[Missle Launch]

Damn I love milk. 2% and lower is oddly thin, but whole has a buttery feel to it that I'm not always in the mood for.

What're your thoughts on milk?

Cereal and milk I heard works well together.

i down it a lot. its pricey, but oh well.. i'd sacrifice some other shit that i dont need like chips and whatnot.

[Liquid Fists]

Yeah, well when oil is at $110/barrel everything else will be bound to raise in price.

[Netology]

milk is shit, research what's in it

[Ali M]

We got them in Bags...

I dont know if that cool or wack...

[VG Emblem]

I was just about to mention gas too, saying that I think milk is still slightly cheaper than it. But I'm not sure.

Anyway, yes, milk is great. I've drank 2% for such a long time that it's "standard" for me.

[Missle Launch]

My theory on the raise in milk-prices is related to gasoline, actually.

Price of gas goes up, inspires ethanol-research; ethanol come mainly from corn, so corn-prices go up; cows are often feed corn, so higher corn-prices means cows are more expensive to maintain; to cover the cost of cow-maintenance, milk-prices rise.

i r smrt.

I used to down cartons of milk as a kid, now I can't stand the taste. I need my calcium badly.:shake::sad:

Maybe the same reason I gave up on jello because I looked way to far into the ingredients? Who knows.

honestly, i was going to say something similar to this, but, i was tired. it seems like maybe inflation as a whole is being caused by the oil prices. milk's effects being an example of this

So few people in my day-to-day life noticed the cost of milk going up, that I never expected a SRKer to have brought this up before me. Cool! The word's definitely getting out there.

Is it just me, or has my reputation dropped even more over the course of this thread?

this belongs in the gas thread imo

[w1r3d]

nonfat milk is where it's at.

[pherai]

You mean water?

[lamewadd]

I'm actually a milk expert. I love it. Like...too much. It makes me get really fat, very quickly.

Milk is tasty. I know exactly what you mean by that unpleasant buttery taste to it. This is almost entirely due to problems in shipping. If you buy locally-made milk, this won't be a problem.

[ElderGOD]

Yea, milk and cereal used to be cheap breakfast, back when breakfast still existed.

[w1r3d]

You mean water?

i've had all three (whole, 2%, nonfat), and taste-wise it's pretty much the same. the feel is different yeah, but if i can get the same taste with no fat and a lot less calories, why not? >.<

[Missle Launch]

Well you're a fucking ass-hat and it shows..

How am I an ass-hat?! Is it because I don't take myself seriously? I've tried the alternative, but I'm just naturally inclined to silliness. Try it out, sometime: just take a nice quiet walk, come back to the computer, and post the most interesting of the plethora of pointless thoughts that came to your head.

Ummm... cow? Cow is in milk. I thought that was obvious; or am I being naïve?

you dumbass, milk is higher because of the price of crude oil. the oil is used to make the plastic and just about everything else in this world. Price of oil goes up, everything else will follow.

[maelstrom218]

Missile Launch, Netology is referring to the fact that--besides the additives that they dump into milk which ironically make it less nutritious--cow feed is typically laced with quite a few chemicals and hormones, all of which are suspect in doing lots of bad things to the human body. Google "milk bad" and you come up with quite a few articles.

Personally, milk is a kick-ass protein source that goes well with my high-protein cereal, and since I want to start building muscle, I'll be downing milk like no tomorrow. Milk is good stuff.

You make sense, though. I was considering the raw product, not the processing and shipping and so on.

To clarify: Delicious titty breast milks straight from the titty helps a nigga get scrong bones. Don't know about cereal. I guess soy is fine.

[Manx]

Don't forget that not only do manufacturing costs go up (oil for those heavy machines in factories) it also has to be shipped. So when jet fuel goes up, so does air shipping costs. Obviously ground shipping costs rise as oil prices rises. And exponentiate the increase if it has to be shipped overseas.

Im not a big fan of drinking milk unless its with my Flintstones Cocoa Pebble cereal or dat Nesquick...

[Rhio2k]

Yeah, well when oil is at $110/barrel everything else will be bound to raise in price.

It's the corn. Somewhere, some idiot/s (probably republican, with major stock in corn or something) decided that even though corn produced far less sugar, they should use it for ethanol instead of fuckin' sugar cane. Now food products everywhere, including wheat (price went up due to rarity cuz now farmers get paid more to plant corn so that's mostly what they plant now) are costing more since somewhere along the line, corn went into them. Either as an ingredient or as feed for whatever animal it came from. This combined with gas prices is gonna lead to people going hungry in the next couple years or later.

I disagree. I notice a difference in taste, as texture is a big part of taste, it's not just flavor. Nonfat milk is like milk flavored water IMO.

milking cock is the shit, I love what comes out of it

Yeah, and people starve because of that too. What is funny is we can convert coal to diesel fuel for less in energy terms than it cost to raise and process ethanol and we have shitloads of coal.

And the price of oil is going up because... The value of the dollar is going down. Thank you Ben Bernake and the federal reserve for slowly killing our currencys buying power.

[Million]

Chocolate milk is still my #1 *drank*. Nothing else I've had is on that level of greatness.

I still say we should just murder the big oil companies, and take their shit....just like any gradeschool bully that's worth a damn.

Oh, oh, it is so fashionable to hate on the White House and/or the Fed for economic issues! The fact is that they've managed to stave off massive inflation, recession, and a massive drop in foreign investment while still making treasury bonds a worthwhile commodity. You can't blame anybody but the American public for what the real problem is; the simple unwillingness to buy any American-made goods.

Yea, the price of oil going up has absolutely nothing to do with the steadily decreasing supply of it.:rolleyes:

Bottom line, milk is delicious. Everybody go drink a glass. 2% ftw!

Milk be awesome! with some cookies n cream nesquik

I grew up with 2% milk. And anything more whole that that is too rich for me.

I find the price of orange juice more annoying then milk.

[Pasteycracker]

Because of my veganism and slight lactose allergy, I do not drink milk... yet I've noticed the price hike.

I haven't really noticed a change in price of soymilk though. ^_^

whenever i drink milk, i tend to be in the bathroom for a long time. with stomache pain, bloating, diarrhea, and lightheadedness.

i like milk, but it does not like me.

[voodazz]

Someone brought up an obvious fact that I've never really thought about before. Humans are the only mammals that drink the milk of another species.

This same person advocates the production and bottling of human milk for the general public.

*imagines a warehouse full of women being milked*:pleased:

[Holy Knight]

I used to drink 2% but slowly my mother changed until we got used to skim milk when I was little. Nowadays I can't stand 2%. It feels like I'm drinking fat.

2% milk all the way. Whole milk is like drinking oil mixed with cream and anything below 2% is like having sex in a canoe.

It's fucking near water.

Or you could get a protein shake and have none of the negatives.

I love 2% milk too. I have no problems with whole or nonfat, but I always buy 2%. With some chocolate chip cookies, I'm donnnnne.
