I don't know how others feel but I'm struggling with the choice of milk we are buying. All this permeate bullshit is just an excuse to punch prices up. How does it make you feel. Hasn't permeate allways been in milk?

Milk quality is not consistent from cows so permeate is added/subtracted to keep nutritional value fairly constant.

There is nothing wrong with permeate. Buy whatever milk you like best. All milk is not the same, different fat content and full cream milks taste different.
There are some people who seem angry and continuously look for conflict.
Walk away, the battle they are fighting isn't with you, it's with themselves.

The first lesson of economics is scarcity: There is not enough of anything to satisfy all who want it.
The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics. ~ Thomas Sowell.

Why are they now removing permeate, up until now it's never been mentioned. I tend to think it's a ploy to justify 3-4 dollar a litre prices. And I seem not to remember anyone asking me if I wanted it removed by any form of survey. Is permeate some how related to one of the causes of type 2 diabetes? Or maybe removing permeate gives the milk a longer shelf life.? Soon milk will give us cancer. Why not leave it the way it was. Woolworths pay fuck all for it off the farmers so why are we paying through the teeth?

Just drink coles/woolies/aldi full cream and don't be a pussy.

Dairy Farmers is owned by the Japanese so no need for any guilt. Not that you should feel guilt anyway if you're a bear. It's trench warfare out there Buddy!

This is what I do and have never had any issues.

One of the reasons I do this is because the 'unbranded' cheap milk is what they sell most of, so stock to turn over frequently so what you get is generally as fresh as possible.

When products start advertising using new words I tend to be a bit cynical, and will try to find out what's really going on before making/changing my choice.

There is no difference in homebrand milk. Anyone who tells you that there is has never worked in the dairy industry. The permeate free milk is merely a marketing ploy. I was a milk wholesaler for some years.

for the average guy full cream or low fat milk should be fine. Full cream milk has a fat content of 3.8% and low fat is about 1.8% - it's great stuff.

Any expressed market opinion is my own and is not to be taken as financial advice

Permeate is a by product of yogurt making that normally would be turfed out. A liter of good quality yogurt produces about 3 liters of waste permeate. But they figure why not make you stupid's drink the waste instead and get you to pay money for it. Milk is very cheap these days primarily because it's crap. If you want a good quality product you pay money, that's the way it goes. You don't regularly get quality for cheap prices.
For that matter all milk you get in cartons is just plain crap. Anything which says "homogenized" is plain garbage.

The last time we had good quality milk is when it was freshly delivered in glass bottles. But that would be more expensive, because you'd be paying about $1.50 for a 600ml bottle of milk compared to paying $1 a whole liter of crap.

I hardly ever touched the shit since the good stuff is long gone. I generally have my coffee black and eat yogurt costing $5 or $6 a liter.

The disadvantage of milk delivered in bottles was that the birds learned to stick their beak through the foil top.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
