Just returned from grocery shopping (Wal-Mart Mexico). The milk I purchased is called "Nutri-Yaqui La Leche de Casa" (Yaqui is the brand). There is a very, very fine print on the label I could not read at the store (even with my reading glasses). At home I could just barely make out the fine print with a magnifying glass. Contents of this so-called milk is 50% milk and 50% vegetable oil. What is the world coming to?

My spouse recently purchases a cube of what was called "butter" on the label. Further reading (fine print, of course) and we find it contains 33% vegetable oil. Here we go again. Do consumers really ask for this garbage?

I guess getting ripped off by liquids is harder to do than solid stuff so they just add a cheaper liquid. It always gets me, like potato chips, cereal and such, bags and boxes stayed the same size and are only half full. Now days you have to look at the weight to see how much your getting.
 
I don't speak whatever that is, and Google won't translate it. Something like nutients here milk from home. That's pretty sad.
 
Bought apple juice from Walmart the other day because I haven't had any in quite some time. Fine print says concentrate from China. Now I have to check everything.

Manufacturers make what they think will sell. Consumers vote for or against with their wallets. If it sells, it keeps being offered. If it doesn’t, it goes away.

It’s just business...nothing more.

Don’t like it, don’t buy it. But if others do like it (as they are entitled to decide for themselves) then it will remain on the shelves. But don’t complain about it being on the shelf...nobody is forcing you to buy it.

How true. I've endured several tongue lashings over the years about products some customers found unacceptable. I simply explained to them, it was not my place to tell customers what they could or couldn't purchase. It was my job to provide the products my customers desired. I had one customer get pretty irate over a certain brand of hot dog I carried. His opinion was they weren't fit to eat, and practically demanded I quit carrying them. I explained to him that I agreed with him, but seeing as I sold a pallet of them every month, obviously several other customers had a different opinion.
 
Aaaaaaaand that's why I don't eat ANY food from China.

"It liquid, it edible. It same as milk"

Who would dare mess with nature's perfect food-milk (or goats milk)?

Bio-organic sodium??

Bwaaaahahaha! It’s just sodium. The molecule is the same no matter the source and there is zero difference between them. That just proves that the entire article is total BS in its conclusions

I drank raw goat’s mike and felt much better digestively? Well yeah, the raw milk contains bacteria that rebalanced your digestive systems natural biomass...the milk had nothing to do with it. Take a probiotic and get the same results. And yes, once the gut microflora is returned to normal balance, the effect lasts for years.

My kids drink a ton of apple juice. The only brand I've ever found that isn't from China is Mayer Brothers. Made in NY State with NY apples. The problem is other people have figured it out, and now I have to buy a bunch when I find it. I won't feed an animal anything from China much less my family.

But some of the food made here contains ingredients from China. They buy our soy, and we buy theres. Ours is a much better quality, from my experiences.
 
Be careful of bull's milk, or is it bull ****.
