Confused? No wonder

One week dairy’s good for your heart – the next, it’s killing you.
One article says cows are cooking the planet; another says they’re not the problem at all.

BREWED MILK, eh? We didn’t invent it by choice - it was a necessity 👀 Back in 2015 when the milk price collapsed and the bank pulled out on us, we couldn’t afford a pasteuriser - but that turned out to be awesome; because we made our own. We hated how milk had been processed

OOHH, SAUCEY. Last week we called out greenwashing. A shampoo bottle shouting “100% vegan!” and “30% recycled plastic!” like it was saving the planet
 until you read the small print: -The cap doesn’t count, the pallet wrap doesn’t count & the other 70% was virgin plastic made

 First up, they've got crazy horizontal, oval pupils! It means that cows can see almost everything around them and have nearly 360° vision.
