Milk

[Xaccers]

More milk related useless facts.
Anyone who's been unfortunate enough to try Hershy chocolate will know it tastes bloody awful, all sour and yuk.
That's because when they first started making it, the milk would go off slightly before getting to the chocolate factory.
Of course these days the milk doesn't go off, but in order to supply the chocolate that american's are used to, Hershy actually adds sour flavour to it!

Nothing... they're slaughtered!

And when the mums dry up the AI man comes round to make them pregnant again.

Yet another of our morally questionable farming practices.

Good advice. If you don't check them carefully, you're likely to find that you've picked up a packet of those medjool dates that cost an arm and a leg (although I've got to admit that they're very tasty).
