Why not? It's been shown to be very healthy, and it just does a body good.

I drink ~ 1qt a day.

(waiting for someone to tell me that the comparison in invalid)

Fine, let's see you drink a gallon of Gas or power your Car with a Gallon of Milk.

Its just the concept that is mind-boggling. Milk comes from a cow that is on a farm around the corner. Gas is derived from crude oil that is shipped in tankers from who knows where to the refineries, and then from the refineries to the distributions centers/tankers and then the individual gas stations... you would think that just the transport overheads should make gas far more expensive (relative to milk). That just goes to show how much the government subsidies gas.

Or that milk companies are the devil? And not oil companies as previously thought?

$3.89 or something in the NW Chicago burbs. Because Wisconsin is oh so far away.....
Costco has it for $2.12 or something. Best price around.

What you got was rat milk.

How do you milk a rat?

how do buy a gallon of milk for $1.89?

Have you never seen a milked rat?

You can milk anything with a nipple

"I've got nipples Greg, can oyu milk me?"

Ha ha.

Well at the prices they charge, they would certainly have more capital (per gallon) to do so

Shouldn't it be cheaper since you don't need to refrigerate?

It costs money to process it to make it shelf stable.

I pay either $2.59 or $2.89 for a gallon of milk. I use fat free milk with my cereal so the cost is a bit cheaper per gallon than low fat milk.

i get 5 gallons delivered every week and my monthly milk bill is around 60 bucks.

 

[Baked]

Around $4 at Safeway. But I usually get the half gallon $2.14.

Here in hawaii milk is 8$ a gallon, so don't feel too bad.

How is milk so expensive in NC? It's not like you guys are short on cows.
