For several years we were 'Sharemilkers' for Town Milk Supply.
After every evening milking we would put out a 'billy' of milk.
The next morning the cream was scooped off the top (for porridge or dessert!), and the milk put in a large jug - and into the fridge.
So that kind of gives you an idea of the life of MILK.
Both products were rancid if not used within 4-5 days. One could tell by the curdling and smell!
Today: we have pasteurtised (silver top), homogenised (blue top), skim (green top?) etc.
What happens in this modern age? Cassiens (?sp) are removed for milk powder (great export earner!). Milk is watered down. It will last in the fridge for some length of time.
So you can NOT tell me we are not getting what is basically a 'water product' of very little nutritional value. It colours and cools the tea/coffee!
