Absolutely agree with bringing in better labelling and supporting local farmers. With the effects of the ME war just starting on food prices, our governments are going to have to have to find new ways to help not only farmers but consumers.

Yup, we pay all that money mostly for tap water and packaging. I've started buying plant-based milk in powder form. That way I only make what I need, it keeps well, is cheaper and no unnecessary packaging.

I didn't even know that was available to buy. Is it very similar to powdered milk?

[-] arbilp3@aussie.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

Very much so. Look up online your favourite plant-based milk and see if you can find it in powdered form. I use soy and coconut milks this way. You can also make oat milk yourself from rolled oats. Look up online on how to do it. It's an easy process.

I remember someone online somewhere complaining about oat milk companies tricking people into buying overpriced gruel and for some reason it really stuck with me.

[-] arbilp3@aussie.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

Oat milk could be a kind of gruel IF they are boiling oats in a lot of water. I don't know if the commercial oat milk is made like that. Home-made oat milk is not heated at all and you know how and what you are using. The person you heard may have been using poetic license.
