We all know (well some of us) about the American "near" butters which are technically margerines or Whatever DJ decides to label them.

Funny thing is that Irish butter is cheaper than the local products.

China's high society has adopted a new food fad; human breast milk, and for a price they can get it straight from the source, according to reports.

I wonder what sort of butter this would make.

Kerrrygold Butter is not cheaper than local butter last time I checked? but it's close in price for 500g. Woolies often have specials of R24 per 500g but average low price for pure dairy butter is R34 However Kerrygold aged cheddar 2 years is much cheaper than local products. R24 Why? The EU grants hefty subsidy to Farmers. In Fact, while we're talking about Irish farmers the EU pays Irish farmers not to grow anything in their green fields and let the complaining French do it all.

Nice- but expensive You'd have to have a whole shed of lactating chinese women hooked up to suction pumps just to extract enough milk to churn a kilo. There's already breast milk ice cream in London or was.

Emulsions. Specifically, solid emulsions...

Its not the butter price, its the scaly retail store fixing butter prices.
Bought 5 bricks of butter for mom, they were R15 each, she needed a couple more, same store, 4 days later it was R25!!!

The stores do not price fix. It is too disparate a system for that, even ignoring for a second the obvious centralised DC issues.

Just another topic you know next to nothing about...
