Cup of Tea/coffee anyone???

Seems that if 'we' accept an American deal, post Brexit, our milk will be heavily contaminated. Do we REALLY want that???

Hi

Our levels are set at lowest detectable levels, not at a safe level.

There is no scientific evidence that the USA level is in any way dangerous, so heavily contaminated is not a correct description.

I am far more concerned with their use of antibiotics and growth hormones.

more rubbish , what a life you have UJ sitting there all day looking for things to moan about .

Just like most things we buy in this country it is a matter of personal choice, I buy British milk from British cows which live a few miles down the road supporting local farmers. No one is going to be holding a gun to my head to buy from anywhere else when we make a trade deal with any country

I thought a hormone was a cry from a brothel

I will still enjoy my cup of coffee or tea, I haven't bought animal milk for many years, there are other alternatives around.
